Consultancy

Opto Isolator Scimar provides an engineering consultancy to the Oceanographic and Geophysical research communities, both directly and as a specialist subcontractor to a small group of companies, a grouping deriving from senior staff who at various times worked in the former Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Godalming UK, now re-located to the Southampton Oceanography Centre). This was then and is now considered to be the UK's main centre of excellence in deep ocean sciences.

Work includes:
  • electronic subsystems for laboratory corelogging
  • control electronics and software for in-situ chemical analysis and underwater photography
  • electronic and computing systems for underway bottom spectral gamma logging (both NaI and cryo Ge)
  • Expertise is available in water velocity measurement by acoustic doppler and E.M. means, and for tide height measurement.
