DMT CoreScan: Advanced Drill Core Logging

The document describes the DMT CoreScan System, a high-tech core logging tool. It consists of the CoreScan3 drill core scanner that captures high-resolution digital images of drill cores, and the CoreBase2 digital core library software for logging, data integration, and online accessibility of drill core data. The CoreScan3 can scan cores at resolutions of 10 or 40 pixels per millimeter in either 360-degree or plane modes, and capture images at speeds of up to 180 meters or 1000 meters per shift, respectively.
