摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to an imaging system or sensor, particularly for use in oil-filled passages such as wells or pipelines, or for passages containing other similar viscous fluids. There is provided a downhole imaging system which operates in a wavelength region outside of the visible band, preferably in the infrared region, to permit penetration of the surrounding fluid medium, e.g. oil. The data may be transmitted from the sensor in a compressed form.</p> |
