In June we were invited by Invent to use the FlocARAZI to image suspended particles in drinking water flocculation basins. It was a great time using the camera in a new setting and meeting some fantastic people. Visually the suspended flocs in the basin are larger and transmit more light (lower density?) than most of the flocs we’ve seen in natural water bodies.
