Mariscope Meerestechnik Introduces New Underwater Camera With Multicolor Illumination

Following the requirements of the European armed forces, Mariscope Meerestechnik, located in Kiel (Germany) introduced the first system worldwide that allows the variation of underwater camera illumination.

For certain kinds of appliances, especially for the Explosive Ordnance Disposal, it is necessary to illuminate objects with an illumination that does not only emit white light. In the past, underwater illumination standards were used and filters had to be added to the cameras to achieve this objective.

Mariscope Meerestechnik however developed a new system of underwater illumination that adds to the line of their professional underwater cameras.

The system allows controlling the variation of colors of the underwater light from the surface. Starting with the colors red, green, blue and white, it is possible to mix any color in the visible range to obtain extraordinary results, especially for underwater film making.

The system is based on advanced technology of high output LEDs, developed recently by the company itself in Germany.
