About
The 3D Profiler System is an advanced, fully motorized microprofiling instrument developed in cooperation with Unisense. It enables high-resolution 3D mapping of microgradients in marine and freshwater sediments. The profiler features motorized motion in X, Y, and Z directions, allowing for precise positioning of up to 8 microsensors (O₂, pH, H₂S, N₂O, H₂, redox, resistivity). The AISI 316 stainless steel frame ensures stability and corrosion resistance during underwater operations. The system operates autonomously and can be configured for both shallow and deep-sea deployments up to 6000 m. Integration with the Field DataLogger enables synchronized data acquisition with external devices such as CTDs, light sensors, and optodes. The 3D profiler can also be used for incubation experiments, pore water measurements, and studies of spatial heterogeneity at the sediment-water interface.
