The M210UW is laser scanner specifically designed to operate underwater that also provides for in-air use. The system combines rugged, industrial-grade hardware and electronics with sophisticated, Newton-developed software that compensates for the disruptions of refraction, turbulence and suspended particulates, characteristic of the underwater environment. The M210UW is designed to operate in a laser-to-target range of 6.0 in. to 3.0 ft. (150 mm to 900 mm).
