Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have crafted the Benthic Underwater Microscope, which they claim is the first undersea microscope that can study “millimeter-scale” activity. It combines a water-friendly computer with an imaging system which revolves around two lenses that can see shapes in 3D. The setup is used with a combination of LED lights and fluorescence imaging.
