These mini loggers are made in Canada (Nova Scotia). Mark Nixon (Geological Survey of Canada) uses them along the Mackenzie Valley for deep borehole readings. See www.vemco.com/mlogdata.htm for details and excellent picture showing the very small sensor stainless steel housing which protrudes from the end of the pressure case (good to 1000 m), giving them a reasonable time constant. Resolution is quoted at 0.1 degree for -4C to +20C, and they did custom ranges for us for a very small fee. They appear very well made...made by an oceanographic company, actually. About $175 Canadian. Description by Al Taylor (altaylor@kcorp.com). Phone: (902) 852-4000 Web: www.vemco.com Hukseflux Thermal Sensors
