Project Overview
The GeoVIS Probe is an in-situ video imaging system developed by SPAWAR Systems Center, San Diego. GeoVIS is deployed with a cone penetrometer and used to acquire visual information about the subsurface.

Technology Description
 The GeoVIS probe consists of a CCD color camera, lens/focusing system, and white LED illumination system. The camera, mounted inside the probe, uses a sapphire window viewport. The GeoVIS Probe has been used successfully to delineate DNAPL and other colored compounds in the subsurface during several field applications. The GeoVIS can resolve features as small as 10 µm.
