This document summarizes a new water monitoring system called WaterScope. It uses lasers and cameras to detect, classify, and count microscopic organisms like cyanobacteria, algae, protozoa and rotifers in water samples. This provides advantages over traditional microscopy by allowing high-volume, automated analysis without sample preparation or specialized training. WaterScope offers online access to historical reports and can recognize various organisms to help monitor for dangerous toxins, dead zones, and drinking water treatment costs across applications like water treatment, research, and aquaculture.
