The PiCUS Sonic Tomograph is a powerful tool for analyzing the inner structure of wood. By measuring the speed of sonic waves, it can detect defects and variations in the wood's density. The resulting tomogram provides a clear visual representation of these variations, making it an invaluable resource for anyone working with wood decay.
