Density Gamma


PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT

The probe contains a detachable gamma source and two high-sensitivity scintillation gamma detectors. Gamma radiation from the source is backscattered by the formation (Compton effect) and reaches the two detectors where the count-rates provide an indication of formation bulk density.
