Introduction Optical scanner

Features of the Optical Scanner include: continuous, detailed, and scaled 360o true-colour images of the borehole walls for documentation and interpretation (standard file formats, bmp, tiff, etc.) feature analysis including dip, strike, frequency, and fracture aperture a popular visual data display option is the projection of features onto an imaginary core that can be rotated and viewed replacement of expensive coring with its associated problems of incomplete core recovery borehole deviation log (dip and dip direction of the borehole) to calculate the true borehole coordinates x, y, z for the production of bulls-eye diagrams, etc. total magnetic field strength and magnetic field vector information natural gamma ray information 150 m scan in 1 hour with a vertical resolution of 1 mm over 5 years experience and over 100 km virtual cores produced (Namibia, Niger, Sudan, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Canada, Peru, Europe) surface and underground, vertical and horizontal, core and RC drill holes portable and vehicle mounted operation
