IML Measuring Table
The growth behaviour of trees provides important information about climatic circumstances and temporary or persistent changes of the environmental conditions. In order to correctly identify and measure the annual rings of trees with small growth, every detail of the processing and evaluation is important.
The IML Measuring Table is designed for tree ring analysis, determination of growth rates on increment cores and stem discs. The rugged Measuring Table is splash water proof and supports wood samples with up to 20 kg of weight.
