    The LISST-SL is Sequoia's laser diffraction system for measuring suspended sediment flux and river discharge. It uses a novel, isokinetic pump to match intake speed to current speed, allowing for isokinetic sampling. Data on particle size distribution, concentration, temperature, depth and current speed are displayed in real-time and stored for further processing. The streamlined body facilitates rapid orientation in flows and the system delivers river discharge as well as sediment flux in 32 size classes.
