22nd September 2009
Following two visits by a combination of personnel (Peter, Melanie and John) in September 09, the MSCL#68 at the Institut des Sciences de la Mer de Rimouski (ISMER) was substantially upgraded.
Professor Guillaume St-Onge wanted new sensors to better characterize the sediment cores obtained by his group of researchers. An upgrade to the track mechanics was provided together with a complete new suite of electronics and software. New sensor systems included the Geoscan Imaging system, the new P-wave measurement system, a non contact resistivity sensor, a colour spectrophotometer and the first Innov-X hand-held XRF installed on a Geotek MSCL-S. These sensors now complement the original gamma density and magnetic susceptibility systems providing one of the most fully featured MSCLs in existence.
