IML Measuring Table

The growth behaviour of trees provides important information about climatic circumstances and temporary or persistent changes of the environmental conditions. In order to correctly identify and measure the annual rings of trees with small growth, every detail of the processing and evaluation is important.

With the IML Measuring table we have developed an instrument measuring your wooden samples quickly and smoothly-regardless of the tree species. The exact data of the measurement are delivered immediately, so you can obtain clear results within a short period of time. The menu navigation of the connected electronic unit is clearly arranged thus, the measurement data can be easily and quickly processed and saved.
