The tube assembly is placed on a postal scale for weighing. — Acoustic Standing Wave Tube with max. 2kg of weight

PV system for field-based scientific instruments

An image of a groundwater monitoring borehole with a pipe mounted on top, to which a photovoltaic (PV) panel is securely fixed. The borehole is surrounded by green vegetation, including some reeds, with trees and a clear blue sky in the background. — A mast fitted with an adjustable photovoltaic (PV) panel and a battery storage unit providing power to monitoring instruments.

To the left of the borehole, several grey transport cases containing tools and installation materials are placed on the ground. Behind the monitoring borehole, there is dense vegetation consisting of shrubs and trees. At the top of the image, the sky is clear and blue, with the sun obscured by the PV panel. — A mast fitted with an adjustable photovoltaic (PV) panel and a battery storage unit providing power to monitoring instruments.
