Plankton are crucial to the oceanic food chain as well as the overall health of saltwater and freshwater ecosystems, and the environment.

However, plankton are small and non stationary and thus are relatively difficult to monitor.

Most current ways of capturing images of plankton are with the use of stationary, expensive underwater cameras.

But the In situ Plankton Assemblage eXplorer (IPAX) has proven to be a good solution for the high cost that is typical with plankton imaging systems.

Here, we aim to solve the non stationary problem of current imaging systems by constructing a vehicle for two IPAX camera systems to be attached to.

Additionally, we aim to solve the issue of single view camera shots by having the system consist of two IPAX pointed at the same location within the vehicle system.

This way, if an image taken by one IPAX is blurry, or unable to provide enough information about the plankton, researchers will be able to switch to the image taken by the other IPAX camera and hopefully get a better view of the plankton.
