Dendro 2003
DENDRO 2003 Tree-Ring-Workstation
The DENDRO 2003 equipment is the third generation of densitometrical instruments developed by WALESCH Electronic. Made for density studies on the wood of forestry products, e.g. fast-growing trees, particle board and paper.
Reconstruction of local and worlwide climatological conditions over thousands of years. Evidence of natural and man-made environmental changes in forests, lakes and oceans.
- DENDRO 2003 can be used in dendrochronology, forest research, wood technology, sedimentology, zoology and photography for the solution of climatological, ecological, technological and historical problems.
- DENDRO 2003 is a technically mature instrument based on scientific and ergonomic principles.
- DENDRO 2003 is particulary suited to densitometrical analysis of structurally heterogeneous objects in the microns to 300 millimetre range.
- DENDRO 2003 has proven its usability, particulary for analysis of annual structures such as tree rings, varves and corals.
Features
Main Features
- Analysis of X-ray film in transmission light.
- Analysis of surfaces in incident light.
- Fast, precise and repeatable positioning of objects on the positioning table. (A triple-axis joystick moves the table over a large X and Y range of 300 x 170mm).
- Projection of objects on a large rotatable screen with 10, 25 or 50-times magnification. (other magnification available on request)
- Automatic and manual data acquisition.
- Logical and user friendly control panel design allow easy and efficient handling.
- Data recording on a computer.
- Digitalization and convertion of the recorded density values to graphic formats for easy data-processing, data-management and data-comparison.
- Electrical object focusing and brightness control.
- Photo sensors of variable size with inclinable axis.
- Forward and Backward table movement during data acquisition.
- Manualy operated sliding potentiometers to record structures with small density deviations.
- The application in dendrochronology is described in the book: "Tree Rings" by Prof. F. H. Schweingruber; Reidel/Kluver, Dordrecht, Boston, Lancaster, Tokyo 1988.
Photo sensor for density measurement
- The photo sensor is divided into segments which can be calibrated individually.
- Each segment can be toggled on and off to define the measurement column length. (This may be useful to ignore irregularities on samples.)
- The measurement column length is indicated on the screen.
Usage
- Dendrochronology
- Climatology
- Forest Ecology
- Wood Biology
- Sedimentology
- Zoology
- Photography
