Hydro-Optics, Biology, & Instrumentation Laboratories Inc(HOBI Labs_，美国水体光学生物实验室仪器有限公公司，专注为科学实验室提供水体固有光学特性和表观光学特性测量仪器，仪器设备已经在海洋、环境等领域广为应用，以高精度、高可靠性和地维护成本而闻名。

水体光学是HOBI Labs和核心研究和商业领域，我们为高校、研究所、海军实验室以及其他光学眼镜实验室提供科研设备和服务。

我们提供后向散射、浊度、悬浮物等设备。后向散射是我们的优势领域，同时可提供叶绿素和CDOM测量。

同时，我们提供HrdroRad光辐射系类测量设备，我们也提供机遇HydroDAS系统集成设备，可以集多个设备于一体，测量海洋不同剖面的光学特性。

HOBI Labs成立于1997年，首席科学家为Dr. Robert Maffione，首席工程师 David Dana。我们旗舰产品为HydroScat-6，他同时是世界上第一款商业化的多光谱后向散射仪，今天她仍然是我们的主打产品，同时还衍生出HydroScat-2、HydroScat-4等系列产品。

后来我们陆续开发了a-ßeta（ absorption and backscattering sensor）、c-ßeta （combined transmissometer and backscattering sensor）和Hydrorad等一系列产品。他们都采用自容式设计。

我们仪器在地球各个地方被广泛使用，包括赤道和极地区域。

HOBI Labs Inc

HOBI Labs offers a wide range of scientific-grade instruments for measuring water optical properties and the spectral light field. Our instruments are designed to operate in the harsh oceanic environment with reliability, accuracy and minimal maintenance.

Basic and applied research in aquatic optics is a core activity of HOBI Labs. We also provide a variety of services to universities, naval laboratories and other institutions in the area of light and optics in the aquatic environment.

Interested in optical backscattering, turbidity, suspended sediment concentrations? Take a look at our HydroScat line of spectral backscattering sensors. These instruments also measure chlorophyll and CDOM fluorescence.

Interested in hyperspectral (full spectrum) measurements of plane (or scalar) irradiance and radiance? Browse our line of HydroRad radiometers.

Do you need to control multiple instruments through a single serial connection and host computer? Autonomously operate and log data from a combination of serial and analog outputs? You'll be amazed at the power and versatility of our HydroDAS line of multi-instrument controllers and data loggers.

Company History
HOBI Labs was founded in 1997 by Dr. Robert Maffione (president & chief scientist) and David Dana (chief engineer). Our flagship product, the HydroScat-6, was the world's first commercial multi-spectral backscattering sensor. Today it is still one of our most popular instruments, along with its offspring the HydroScat-4 and HydroScat-2, all of which include the capability of simultaneously measuring fluorescence.

Within two years of its founding, HOBI Labs introduced the world's first, and still only, combined absorption and backscattering sensor, the a-ßeta. At the same time, we also introduced the world's first, and still only, combined transmissometer and backscattering sensor, the c-ßeta. These were followed by the HydroRad series of hyperspectral radiometers, also offering unique capabilities such as built-in intelligent data logging.

These instrument developments went hand-in-hand with an active research program that took us and our instruments from the tropics to the arctic.
