Abstract
A deep-sea imaging and control system with an extremely compact remote camera head unit which can operate to depths of at least 5500 m (about 8500 psi). The unit has a photopolymer shell for a pressure housing that can be 3D-printed, at least partially filled with high performance epoxy used as a potting compound. A pressure resistant optically transparent material such as a flat polished borosilicate glass disc serves as the optical viewport and protects the unpotted lens assembly from pressure and water intrusion. The control computer can be separate from the camera, is partially or completely potted in epoxy, and can be accessible through a Wi-Fi connection.
