 Magnetic Susceptibility Meter Model MS2
Features of the MS2 meter include a choice of SI or CGS units, single or continuous measurements, 4 digit plus sign LCD, RS232 interface and an optional analog output. Internal batteries are rechargeable from the mains or a vehicle outlet.

 Sensor Type MS2B
This sensor accepts 10ml and 20ml cylindrical bottles, 25.4mm and 23mm cubic boxes, 35mm pots and 25.4mm cylindrical cores. A manually operated platen allows the sample to be inserted and positioned centrally within the sample cavity.
The sensor is used for mass or volume specific susceptibility measurements of standard paleomagnetic samples in studies of rock and mineral magnetism. It is also used in conjunction with the AMSWIN-BAR software and sample adaptor for measurements of the anisotropy of susceptibility.

 Sensors Type MS2C
A series of loop sensors, ranging from 36 to 162mm in diameter, is available for high resolution volume susceptibility measurements on whole cores. They are suitable for measuring any type of peat, lake or marine sediment core, provided it is not metal clad.
These rugged sensors, with a very low temperature induced drift, are ideally suited for laboratory, field or shipboard use. They can be used with manual or automated core analysis systems - details on request. Data obtained with these sensors are of value in prospection, core correlation and multiple core studies and in identification of paleoclimatic sequences.

 Search Loop Type MS2D
This probe is for rapid assessment of the concentration of ferromagnetic minerals in the top 100mm of the land surface. It is used in studies of slope processes and tool in archaeological prospecting, as human habitation leads to an irreversible magnetic enhancement of the soil, mainly as a result of burning. The MS2D loop can only be operated in conjunction with the MS2 probe handle.
|
 Sensors Type MS2E
This sensor is for high resolution measurements of magnetic susceptibility along flat surfaces with a roughness of <1mm, particularly for split drill or soft sediment cores with no metal cladding.
The sensitive area of the probe, as defined by 50% maximum response is in the form of a rectangle 3.8mm x 10.5mm. The position of the long axis is identified by marks on the circumference of the ceramic cylinder. Soft or wet cores may be protected by a thin (<0.05mm) plastic film during the measurement to avoid smearing. The sensor is connected directly to the MS2 meter by a cable which may be up to 30m (standard 5m) in length.
|
 Probe Type MS2F
This miniature probe is ideal for the stratigraphic study of exposed geological and archaeological sections. It is also used where difficult surface conditions prevent good contact with the MS2D loop. The probe can only be operated in conjunction with the MS2 probe handle.
|
 MS2G Sensor
This sensor is for magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1ml liquid or powder samples. Scaling correction values are given for volumes down to 0.2ml.
It is used for susceptibility measurements where only very small samples of homogeneous fine grained material are available. Examples are airborne particulates collected in filter papers or particles in colloidal suspension.
|
 Sensor Type MS2K
This sensor provides highly repeatable measurements of the volume magnetic susceptibility of moderately smooth surfaces. Description of magnetic stratigraphy and identification of horizons are key applications. Characterization of outcrops and logging of split cores with nonmetallic cladding is also possible.
The sensor also has applications in materials testing where the relatively low operating frequency permits measurement on some of the less electrically conductive metal alloys, e.g. stainless steel, without magnetization.
|
 MS2 Probe Handle With Electronics Unit
This handle is required for connection of the sensors type MS2D and MS2F to the MS2meter. The handle is submersible to the depth of the electronics unit (0.6m).
The MS2F probe can be used in conjunction with both parts of the handle or with the upper section only.

 Equipment Carrying Case
This is a tough lockable case with cut-outs to provide maximum protection for the equipment.
