A single drop of seawater can contain a million microscopic organisms. Flow cytometry is a method, originally developed in the biomedical field, that allows scientists to identify, count, and isolate individual particles with laser light. Bigelow Laboratory led the adaptation of this technology to aquatic sciences and has continued to advance the application for almost 50 years. Come hear Senior Research Scientist Nicole Poulton, director of the Center for Aquatic Cytometry, discuss how this technology has shaped our understanding of the marine food web and what insights it can provide in the future.
