7.1. General Description
The MS2C sensor is a core sensor with a large aperture through which to feed the sample (See
Figure 6). The aperture is centred within the sensor coil, which has a diameter 8mm greater than
that of the aperture. The full range of diameters available is given in the product brochure.
The MS2C is designed for volume susceptibility measurements of sediment, peat or soil cores,
made in plastic, Perspex or similar non-magnetic tubes, trays or liners. The high spatial
resolution of the sensor permits cores to be logged at intervals down to circa 20mm.
The sensor can be mounted either on a vertical or horizontal surface. Where it is necessary to
preserve the water sediment interface, e.g. in lake cores, horizontal logging is preferred.
Note:
For highest resolution and sensitivity, select a sensor with a loop diameter
approximately 5mm larger than the core.
A manual core conveyor is available for use with the MS2C.
