We're excited to be exhibiting at CERF this year! FlowCam Aquatic Sales Manager, Leah Anne Gibala-Smith, will be in Richmond next week to tell you more about our new export feature for plankton community analysis along the freshwater to marine continuum.

Visit us in Booth 301, and you'll be entered to win a raffle for an LL Bean backpack, a FlowCam sweater vest, a dinoflagellate figurine, and some other fun goodies!

📆 November 9 – 13, 2025
📍 Greater Richmond Convention Center, Booth 301

We look forward to hearing your insights, questions, and ideas—the best progress happens when we collaborate.

Will we see you next week at ?

If you’re attending the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS) Symposium, stop by Booth #1 to see FlowCam in action. 💧

Bring a water sample from your lake or study site, and we’ll analyze it live at our booth—so you can see your sample’s microbial community in action, including algae and cyanobacteria

We’re looking forward to connecting with lake managers, researchers, and anyone passionate about understanding what’s in their water. See you there!

🌿 Exploring the hidden world of freshwater plankton 🌿

From upland peat bogs to tiny puddles, every drop of water holds a unique microbial story. In our latest blog post, FlowCam Field Application Scientist Daniela Sturm takes readers into England’s upland bogs to reveal how imaging technology helps uncover the diversity of microscopic life in these overlooked ecosystems.

Using FlowCam, Daniella captured thousands of plankton images in minutes, showing how small shifts in water clarity or vegetation can completely change community structure.

It’s a reminder that microbial ecology doesn’t just happen in the lab—it starts in the field, with curiosity, a sample bottle, and the right tools.

Come along on a hike to explore freshwater plankton and microbial ecology with FlowCam—rapidly capture diverse plankton communities in upland bog habitats.

Our team is having a wonderful time in Chile this week at ICHA (the International Conference on Harmful Algae)!

Are you at ICHA too? Come see Leah and Natália at the FlowCam table to learn more about classifying HAB taxa in VisualSpreadsheet and EcoTaxa.

Leah is pictured here with FlowCam users William Scott and Devin Burris of Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium.

We had a fantastic time last month at FlowCam University with our biopharma customers in September!

We dove deep into hands-on training in flow imaging microscopy, from instrument setup and sample prep to advanced data wrangling and classification using VisualSpreadsheet. It was inspiring to see the energy, questions, and new ideas shared across the room.

Thank you to everyone who attended! You made this event meaningful and engaging. Can’t wait to do it again — stay tuned for 2026 details!

Our team came together in Southern Maine last week—a time to connect, collaborate, and celebrate each other. We shared ideas, enjoyed a lot of great meals together, and capped it off with a ferry ride to Peaks Island for a classic Maine lobster bake. 🦞⛴️

Here’s to the people who make this team what it is! 💙

🌊 Student-led science meets community impact in Harpswell, Maine!

This summer, Bowdoin College student Rebecca Schill (’25) launched a phytoplankton and water quality monitoring project to explore how aquaculture and wild fisheries interact in Casco Bay. Supported by the Town of Harpswell and local committees, her work aimed to build baseline ecological data to inform future policy and management decisions.

A key part of the project:

Using FlowCam 8400, Rebecca captured and analyzed thousands of phytoplankton images, building libraries of different genera and distinguishing between diatoms and dinoflagellates. This rapid imaging and classification helped visualize community shifts across Middle Bay and Harpswell Sound, with the goal of understanding shellfish habitats, bloom dynamics, and ecosystem health.

By combining FlowCam data with traditional microscopy and local knowledge, Rebecca demonstrated the value of high-resolution imaging in coastal monitoring. Her findings offer a foundation for future studies and highlight the role of advanced tools in tackling real-world marine challenges.

👏 Congratulations to Rebecca for connecting science, technology, and community needs. We’re proud that FlowCam could support this important student-driven project!

This week, our FlowCam interns, Emma and Kian O'Reilly joined students from across the region at IDEXX for an afternoon of career exploration and connection.

The event brought together senior leaders from the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, Martin’s Point Healthcare, and FMI for a panel discussion on the wide range of STEM opportunities available right here in Maine.

From meaningful conversations with professionals to peer networking across industries, it was a great reminder that career pathways in science, healthcare, data, and technology are as diverse as they are rewarding.

We’re grateful to the organizers and to our fellow Maine employers for helping build a stronger, more connected STEM community.
