Image Of the Day caption:
Postdoctoral investigator Maria Pachiadaki (left) and Shipboard Scientific Services Group (SSSG) technician Allison Heater deploy Deep-SID, a sampling robot, during a cruise to the Mediterranean in 2011 aboard R/V Atlantis. Despite its fragile appearance, Deep-SID is designed to collect microbes living at depths of more than one-half mile. Before deployment, researchers load the top half of each sample tube with a yellow fixative. The instrument collects water samples and mixes them with the fixative, preserving any organisms they contain. Deep-SID was developed at WHOI by microbiologists Craig Taylor and Virginia Edgcomb and engineer Ken Doherty, and by McLane Research Laboratories in Falmouth, Mass.
