WHOI scientist Craig Taylor used a lathe to fashion this inlet device out of polycarbonate. The central post contains crossed passageways through which water flows to a central valve and then to each filter unit. The shape of the device allows it to slice into layered fluids with minimal mixing of the layers, so that samples can be drawn from a specific area.

WHOI microbiologist Craig Taylor used a lathe to fashion this device out of polycarbonate. It is an inlet port for an underwater instrument called the submersible incubation device. The central post contains crossed passageways through which water flows to a central valve and then to specified chambers where microbes in the water can be incubated or preserved. The shape of the inlet port allows it to draw samples from layers as thin as one centimeter with minimal mixing of fluids immediately above or below.
