The C-Star incorporates a novel monolithic housing with a highly integrated opto-electronic design to provide a low cost, compact solution for underwater measurements of beam transmittance. The instrument is capable of either free space measurements, or through the use of an optical flow tube, flow-through sampling with a pump. It can be used in profiling, moored, or underway applications.
c-Rover 5 is designed for long-term deployment aboard profiling floats. It's near-neutral buoyancy simplifies ballasting, and it is capable of being "parked" at depth (2000 m). The c-Rover 5 weighs less than C-Star; C-Star is more rugged and better suited to ship-based operations.
