PiCUS TreeTronic

The PiCUS Treetronic uses electric current/voltage to examine the tree. The resulting measurements are displayed in a two-dimensional map showing the apparent electrical impedance of the wood, called an Electrical Impedance Tomogram (EIT). The electric impedance – or resistance – of the wood is influenced most of all by the water content, cell structure and chemical elements which change according to the status of wood. The Treetronic can detect such changes by measuring how the heterogeneous wood “bends” the electrical field.

When used in combination with a Sonic Tomograph, an EI tomogram offers you more information about the tree. The EIT helps to analyse the type of damage, and it is often possible to distinguish between cavities and ‘wet’ diseased wood.
