The Electronic Resistograph is the only accurate testing and measuring device in existence.

It works upon the principle of measuring the resistance while drilling and delivering detailed information about the inside of tree trunks and roots.

Resistograph Technology is the most advanced test method for measuring decay and ageing in trees and all kinds of timber.

 Peter Blank of IML Australia has compiled more than six years of research on decay detection in this easy to understand tutorial manual: Basic Decay Detection Manual for Trees & Timber Structures ISBN: 0646468596.
