Our FlowCam team wishes you a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year! ❄️

Can you spot the particles hidden in the image above?

Look for: human cells, shellfish larvae, drug delivery vehicles, silicone oil droplets, a tomato cell, and phytoplankton, including Tabellaria, Cochlodinium, and diatom frustules.

🎆 As we wrap up 2025, our new blog post highlights some exciting progress and what’s on deck for the year ahead at Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies.

From expanding global support and enhancing customer research to advancing software like VisualSpreadsheet 6.1, it’s been a year of collaboration, innovation, and community engagement.

If you’re interested in how flow imaging microscopy is evolving and how FlowCam plans to support researchers across industries in 2026, check out the full blog post: https://www.fluidimaging.com/news/looking-toward-2026

Tessa is our Flow Cam expert here at the Downeast Institute! You can see the internal workings of the Flow Cam and some of the pictures it captured from a water sample collected here in our backyard.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see at CERF! We loved engaging with students who are passionate about estuarine science and love using FlowCam—including Sarah McCaffrey, the winner of our FlowCam raffle!

Sarah is an NSF-RaMP BOATS intern at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab under Dr. Brian Dzwonkowski. While on a semester away at Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, she used FlowCam to investigate distribution patterns in the South Atlantic Bight.

Her favorite phytoplankton to see in the samples were Akashiwo sanguinea: “They just look so cute even though they can be harmful,” Sarah said. Next steps for Sarah include applying for graduate opportunities in marine ecology.

Congratulations, Sarah!

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! 💙

📸 A few snapshots from a wonderful week.
