| Definition | The ZooScan (Gorsky et al., 2010) is a plankton scanner. Designed for benchtop applications. It is used to take high-resolution digital images of net or bottle-collected zooplankton samples, process and analyze collected zooplankton samples in a fast and semi-automatic way, and collect data on rapidly degenerating gelatinous plankton. It has built-in features making it possible to standardize the images of different ZooScans to remote control the image generation and to build a common image databases. The zooSCAN uses a scanner technology with custom lighting and a watertight scanning chamber into which liquid zooplankton samples can be placed. The scanner makes a digital, high-resolution image. The liquid sample can be recovered without damage through a drainage channel. High resolution, optimized for objects above 200 µm equivalent spherical diameter. Image resolution can be up to 4800 dpi (dots per inch). Each image is 14 150 pixels by 22 640 pixels and may contain hundreds to thousands of individual animals. |
