Self-cleaning lens – crystal clear images and more precise measurements
The lens that washes itself – so you don’t have to
If you lower your equipment into the water, you can be sure of one thing: growth and algae will appear and reduce visibility.
When algae and growth settle over the lens and sensors, it’s like trying to read the newspaper through a foggy pair of glasses. To get the most epic images of the fish, you need to have clean lenses at all times. This is the key to precise numbers and insight into fish weight and welfare.
Fewer worries
Einar Wangberg, head of the hardware team, says the self-cleaning lens solution is based on years of research and testing. “We have collaborated with another local technology provider who is an expert in water treatment, and together we have developed a self-cleaning technology based on UV light.”
He goes on to say that there are several advantages to a self-cleaning lens for those working at the facilities:
“We know that therift technicians out at the facilities have busy days. The need for cleaning causes breaks in the workflow, either by raising the bioscope and cleaning the lens yourself, or hiring divers. This also causes a break in the data series for production managers who rely on updated information on a daily basis.”

Perfect for submerged operation
For deep diving, this is a game changer. First and foremost, hiring divers to clean the lens manually means losing valuable measurements and less insight into the fish. At the same time, continuous diving operations will be costly and time-consuming.
A simple choice
So the question is: Why spend time and resources manually scrubbing and washing your lens, when you can get a lens that cleans itself? – without you having to lift a finger (or the camera).
