Abstract

In order to eliminate potential seasonal complaints from customers concerning algal blooms in the Wachusett Reservoir, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) installed a FlowCAMμ, a breakthrough particle‐imaging and flow‐cytometry system that takes high‐resolution, full‐color digital images of every particle and cell in a fluid sample. These images, along with their corresponding data sets, are saved in an interactive scattergram or in the company's proprietary Microsoft Excel spreadsheet‐based system, Visual Spreadsheetμ, for instant display and analysis. The article discusses additional data collected for each particle and cell, how to use the FlowCAM, and its benefits and uses for other water quality issues.
