Who we are

Muon Radiography, or Muography, is an innovative imaging technique capable of investigating the subsoil or the interior of large opaque bodies inaccessible with traditional techniques such as X-rays or gamma rays.

Thanks to the well-established experience in geology, geotechnics and engineering of our industrial partners, TECNO-IN S.p.A. and STRESS S.C.a R.L., we are able to provide a complete service: starting from custom-made consulting, to the feasibility studies and installation of the equipment on site, up to the drafting of a report with the final results.
