Sample type:
Temp probe = Jason high temperature probe.
Echem = Cyclic voltammetry electrochemistry wand for in situ chemistry measurements.
BMS = BM = Biomat syringe sampler for fine scale microbial mat sampling.
Major = Major Ti-samplers for collection of discrete high temperature venting fluids.
Gas = Gas sampler for collecting gasses from venting fluids.
MTR = Miniature temperature recorder, placed in vent fluids and collected at a later time to download long-term temperature data.
Slide Trap = Sampler with glass slides installed to allow for colonization by microbes and immediate visualization onboard.
SIO Charges = Colonization chambers.
Scoop = Contained sampler with ball valve on end to prevent turbulent flow.
Nanostick = Stick sampler for long term deployment and chemical analysis.
PVC = Grid for deployment at mat removal site.
Slurp = Suction Sample = Suction sample hose for collecting large microbial mat samples.
Micromanipulator = Manipulate EChem probe on a micron scale to collect profiles through mats.
Baby Suck = Single syringe BMS sampler for collection of biomat.
Photo document = Imaging of mat sites.
Photo Mosaic = Downward-looking photography for stitching for large scale vent mapping.
Rock = Collection of rocks for examination of microbial colonizers
