This Lampocteis looks neat using the DeepPIV (particle image velocimetry). I like how it illuminates all those lines. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 454 #designingthefuture2 #MarineLife

Who needs fireworks when you have siphonophores and lasers?!! 🌊🦑🧪 #DeepPIV #siphonophireworks #DesigningTheFuture3 @schmidtocean.bsky.social @mbarinews.bsky.social

Another BEAUTIFUL siphonophore, that the team here thinks is undescribed. 🦑🧪 #Designingthefuture3

Whoever named their deep sea laser scanning system “DeepPIV” knew exactly what they were doing.

Teuthowenia Tuesday! ROV pilots filmed this glass squid during the #DesigningTheFuture3 expedition at 739 m. Read about the animal and the DeepPIV imaging system from @kakanikatija.bsky.social & @mbarinews.bsky.social via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/ekV8I...

Maybe Thalassocalyce. They're currently running this cteno through the DiscoPIV (they call it DeepPIV). @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 903 #DesigningtheFuture3 #MarineLife

The space-age instrument creating this light show is DeepPIV, for Deep particle image velocimetry; it was developed by @kakanikatija.bsky.social & the Bioinspiration Lab team at @mbarinews.bsky.social. It was mounted on ROV SuBastian during #DesigningTheFuture3.

Relive the moment in the control room when we first scanned this undescribed Apolemia siphonophore. 🤩 Just wow!! 🌊🦑🧪 #DesigningtheFuture3 #DeepPIV @schmidtocean.bsky.social @mbarinews.bsky.social (clip from @tuexplorer1.bsky.social)

Just learned about a deep sea scan device that allows us to see the marvels of nature and is called….

Couldn’t help but think of @dansavage.bsky.social 😅

This video was recorded aboard the @mbarinews.bsky.social R/V Rachel Carson. Joost Daniels uses DeepPIV, an innovative imaging technology that utilizes lasers, to scan a larvacean so we can study their intricate structures.

In case you’re wondering, this video highlight came from our #DesigningTheFuture @schmidtocean.bsky.social Expedition with @burnsajohn.bsky.social and others. To the left is #DeepPIV in case you’re wondering. We’re doing a part III in April so stay tuned! 🦑🌊
Wait for it... If I could do that I would be more insufferable than I am now. Chiroteuthis from @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 454 #designingthefuture2 #MarineLife

MBARI baby i'm so sorry, calling your genuinely cool & important scientific instrument "DeepPIV" does NOT call to mind "deep particle image velocimetry," but rather, something else,

By using cutting-edge imaging technologies (such as #EyeRIS & #DeepPIV) and rapid genome sequencing, the deep-sea team of #DesigningTheFuture3 were able to confirm 31 new species, including 7 ctenophores!

but yeah magnapinna's weird like that, other squid in its containing family have similarly long arms or tentacles and use what's called the tuning fork position instead:

Hey lovely people! Had so much fun tagging along on the livestream for Designing The Future 3 and so looking forward to getting to work on some of the DeepPIV scans! It was special to get to see them while they were being collected this time.
