The Buchanan Water Sampler is an instrument used in the 1900 century to collect water samples from certain depths. The mechanism is attached to a line which is thrown over the side of a ship and when it gets to a certain depth (this is told from the numbers on the side of the line) the person holding the line sends a messenger ( a tiny mechanism sent to close the lid on the Sampler), then reals it up for testing.

A Niskin water sampler is used to collect water samples at specific depths in the ocean without contamination or loss of dissolved gases.

This is crucial for studying the distribution of nutrients, pollutants, and plankton in the ocean.
