Summary
The MSCL-XZ is a benchtop or small-footprint core logging system that provides a compact solution for split core non-destructive measurements, obtaining multiple data sets simultaneously. Unlike the MSCL-S, where the core moves past the sensors, the bench-top MSCL-XZ moves the sensors along the core (X-axis) while the sensors move up and down to contact the core surface (Z-axis). Split core sections enable sensors to be used that cannot operate through the plastic liner: X-ray fluorescence (Olympus Delta handled or Ultra-sensitive Geotek XRF), colour spectrophotometry, high-resolution magnetic susceptibility, and Geoscan V linescan core imaging.
