The Hydrothermal Vent Fluid In-situ Chemistry sensor deployed on Axial vent field via the MJ03C junction box (image from Tan, et. al 2015)

During ROPOS Dive R1729, a digital-still camera (left), a mass spectrometer (middle) and a fluid- and microbial-DNA sampler (right) were installed in the International District Hydrothermal Field at the vent called El Gordo. A titanium "hat" rests on top of the structure in a tubeworm and limpet patch. Inside the "hat" are temperature probes and intake nozzles for the fluid and DNA sampler.
