1 – Introduction
The MicroEel Solid Analog Streamer is designed for high-resolution marine seismic
imaging. It is ideal for shallow oil and gas investigations, stratigraphic and structural
mapping, and teaching and research.
The MicroEel features solid-type construction specifically designed to withstand the
harsh conditions of commercial marine surveys. The active section is built using
Geometrics continuous-flotation molding method (Figure 1).

In addition, the MicroEel uses unique proprietary polymer hydrophones, which unlike
ceramic hydrophones are non-shattering. Polymer hydrophones provide superior
durability and performance under the rigors of marine applications with a stable signal
response up to 10 kHz.
Depending on your location, the MicroEel may require a US Department of Commerce
license for export.
This manual provides operating instructions, including description of the MicroEel
system components, setup, calibration, and warranty.
