Underwater microscopy for in situ studies of benthic ecosystems

Underwater microscopes have limited spatial and temporal resolutions. Here, Mullen et al. present a small non-invasive underwater microscope for both direct and fluorescence microscopy. They image coral bleaching and interspecific competition with resolutions approaching a micron and hundreds of mil...

description Underwater microscopes have limited spatial and temporal resolutions. Here, Mullen et al. present a small non-invasive underwater microscope for both direct and fluorescence microscopy. They image coral bleaching and interspecific competition with resolutions approaching a micron and hundreds of milliseconds.
