in each picture, the boat (in blue) is using an echo sounder to image the ocean floor. On the left is a single beam echo sounder, which only images a circle of the seafloor (in red). On the right is a multibeam echo sounder that observes a much larger portion of the seafloor (line in red). Photo Courtesy of NOAA Ocean Explorer. http://www.dosits.org/gallery/tech/osf/es1.htm
