The MS2 system comprises a meter together
with one of a wide range of individually calibrated
sensors for measuring the magnetic susceptibility
of soils and rocks in both the field and laboratory.
It is the international standard for magnetic
susceptibility measurements in environmental
sciences.
The MS2 is a versatile system offering high
resolution and accuracy, excellent temperature
stability and very low measurement drift.
It provides non destructive measurements and
has a low operating frequency so measurements
are not affected by sample conductivity. Readings
are taken in around 1 second.
Applications include geological and soil surveys,
palaeomagnetics, archaeological prospecting,
palaeoclimatic studies, hydrology, sedimentology,
core logging/correlation, and magnetic fabric
analysis.
MS2 Meter - The meter has a sensitivity
of 2x10-6 SI (2x10-7 CGS) with a 4-digit display
in SI or CGS units and an RS232 serial interface.
The meter can be used with any of the following
sensors:
MS2B - Laboratory sensor for dual frequency
measurements on 25.4mm cores or 10ml samples.

MS2C - Range of core logging sensors
with diameters from 36 to 162mm for measurements
on sediment cores with no metal cladding.
MS2C
MS2D - Field survey loop with 185mm diameter
for surface measurements.
MS2E - Sensors
with 3.8 x 10.5mm area of response for high
resolution surface measurements of split
cores.
MS2E
MS2F - Probe with 15mm diameter for
high resolution surface measurements.
MS2F
MS2G - Sensor for 1ml samples.
MS2H - Down hole magnetic susceptibility
probe for 25mm diameter auger holes.
MS2H
MS2K - Probe for relatively smooth
surfaces and outcrops.
MS2K
The MS2 X/T Susceptibility/Temperature
system is also available. This system is
used in investigation of magnetic mineralogy
and the grain size and for the determination
of Curie Translation temperature. It permits
the magnetic susceptibility measurements
to be made on 15 mm diameter sample over
the temperature range of -200 0 C to 850
0 C
