About the Laboratory
The Laboratory of Machine Vision in Aquaculture and Protection of Water (AQUAVISION) is located in Nové Hrady. We focus not only on macroscopic monitoring of aquatic organisms (primarily fish) using camera systems, but also on microscopic monitoring of non-specific cellular responses for the assessment of cytotoxicity across a wide range of samples.
Automated macroscopic monitoring is aimed at analysing the behaviour and appearance of fish or crayfish, with outputs providing information on the condition of individual organisms or entire populations.
Microscopic analysis provides key information on the biocompatibility of materials and their potential applications in human and veterinary medicine, as well as on water contamination by micropollutants, chemical compounds and their mixtures, and also by leachates and extracts from solid materials such as alloys, polymers, or composites.
