Geometrics

Alpha has had a very long association with Geometrics and continues to sell and rent their products. These include a full range of Magnetometers, Seismographs and Geoelectrical Instruments.

Geometrics is developing a Micro-Fabricated Atomic Magnetometer (MFAM) a novel total-field magnetometer. The MFAM measures the magnetic field at a rate of 1 khz using a miniaturized Caesium-vapour sensor. MFAM's application in situations where small sensor size, high sensitivity, high sample rate, and immunity to sensor-to-sensor interference are important.

Transient Technologies – Ground Penetrating Radar

Transient Technologies VIY-3 series 2D ground penetrating radar offer some of the most advanced and robust high quality equipment and software in their field. Built in tilt sensors, WIFI and GPS compatibility are just some of their high end features. Transient offers a range of antennas from 125 to 700 MHz with state-of the art software for processing and imaging.

The system is by far the most advanced in its class, offering the highest technical specifications and most comprehensive software package together at an economical price. The software streamlines all aspects of a ground TEM survey, from automated GIS survey planning to advanced automated acquisition, world class automated processing and modelling inversion capability.

magROCK Magnetic Susceptibility Meter

The magROCK is used for measuring magnetic susceptibility in rocks, cores and samples, incorporates the latest in measurement and display technology while retaining the sound physical principles that enable improved sensitivity and accuracy.

Borehole Logging Workshop

Alpha, in conjunction with Mount Sopris Instruments (Denver, Co, USA) is putting on a two day workshop on borehole logging orientated to the mineral, coal, engineering and groundwater arena. This workshop will be on the Thursday and Friday after the ASEG-PESA-AIG Conference in Adelaide from 25 to 26 August.
