 TEN-EX™™ is a qualitatively different method for imaging core that was designed to digitally archive the core, preserving it at 10x resolution, the resolution of the hand lens one would normally use in the core layout room. The images are taken immediately following slabbing and provide the best archive of the pristine surface of the core. TEN-EX™ imagery is designed to offer digital images of your core on your office computer at the same resolution used in the core layout room. TEN-EX™ imagery can be viewed and described directly through our Virtual Layout Room and optionally, can be delivered as DVDs suitable for viewing and core description using CoreView II, our stand-alone viewing software for your desktop: When combined with either CoreView or the Virtual Layout Room, TEN-EX™™ technology provides all of the tools necessary for an in-depth core description on your desktop. Both viewing systems provide stratigraphic dip, bed thickness, even grain size on you desktop. They also provide the ability to examine your core at up to 20x resolution without the distortion inherent in the use of a hand lens. All measurements are automatically indexed by the depth at which they were taken and added to a text box, where they can be saved at the end of the day... eliminating the need to transcribe your notes into a digital format. TEN-EX™ imagery also provides an alternate means to obtain petrophysical information from the core. There are a number of image analysis methods that can be used to obtain high-quality petrophysical information, but they are only valid if applied to a high-quality image. TEN-EX™™ has been used to provide both point estimates and logs of the following parameters:
