About The Company

GF Instruments is a private owned geophysical company settled in The Czech Republic (EU).

The company's two main activities are:

• Development, manufacturing, sale and rental of measuring instruments for geophysical, geological, environmental and laboratory use including gamma-ray spectrometers and dose rate meters, DC resistivity systems, electromagnetic conductivity meters, magnetic susceptibility meters, metal detectors, laboratory instruments and special equipment based on above mentioned methods designed to the user’s request.
  
  
• Providing of near-surface geophysical measurements, consulting and services in the field of geology, engineering geology and UXO survey.

• Resistivity & IP:
  GF Instruments has introduced new standard version of its popular ARES instrument for resistivity and IP tomography equipped with extra powerful transmitter - 2000 Vp-p, 5 A, 850 W. The unit can be supplied either from 12 V battery or from generator (via AC/DC convertor) keeping full transmitter performance both for multi-electrode cable measurement and for VES. Thus easily portable ARES system can be used for heavy duty survey also under extra high or low ground resistances reaching significantly enhanced depth range of investigation and noise resistance.

• Electromagnetics - CMD:
  CMD Explorer (2.2, 4.2, 6.7 m depth) and CMD Mini Explorer (0.5, 1.0, 1.8 m depth) strengthen their position on the market. Both instruments equipped with three simultaneously working EM systems provide data for conductivity mapping and for conductivity sections using EM inversion. Data processing system supports structural models with both fluent and sharp conductivity changes convenient for 2D and 3D imaging. Built-in 1D inversion indicates parameters of 2 layered model (conductivities of layers and depth of border) currently in situ.

• Short guides:
  We recommend to pay attention to our methodical guides for electromagnetic conductivity survey as well as for resistivity and IP imaging. Those brochures contain both theoretical introduction and many typical examples of applications.
