Video of an EBS Sample

Sorry for another lapse in blog posts! We've been getting an EBS sample nearly every day lately (yay!) but that leaves little time for much else. We're really happy with our success in sampling and have been getting some great photos of really interesting animals (more soon). Here's a video 'tour' of one of our sieved EBS samples. After we sieve the material that comes up and pick out any large animals, we scan what's left under the microscope to pick out smaller animals with floppy forceps or a Pasteur pipette and sort them into little dishes on ice so they stay nice and cold while we sort.
