>[MAN] This is the Van Veen grab.

0:00:08.579,0:00:12.089
It's a surface sediment sampler[br]designed for taking samples

0:00:12.089,0:00:15.195
on lake and riverbeds and large sumps.

0:00:15.195,0:00:16.961
It's a stainless steel construction.

0:00:16.961,0:00:18.582
This is a 1/2-liter model.

0:00:18.582,0:00:22.943
They also come in 2, 6, and 12 liters.

0:00:22.943,0:00:26.918
And the way it works is not[br]dissimilar from a mousetrap.

0:00:26.918,0:00:29.879
We can just set it with this lever here

0:00:29.879,0:00:36.321
and now we can lift the whole unit and[br]we can lower it through a body of water

0:00:36.321,0:00:43.780
And then, as it touches the lakebed,[br]it releases, and then we can lift up again,

0:00:43.780,0:00:47.712
and we get a nice, surface sample

0:00:47.712,0:00:51.746
and now we can pull it back[br]to the water's surface.

0:01:01.763,0:01:04.130
All right, there she goes.
