Sonometrics designs and manufactures a wide array of sonomicrometry crystals. Our years of dedicated research allow us to sell the best performing and most reliable crystals, including a variety of attachment options designed to significantly speed up this part of an experiment.

A second key advantage of our crystals that experienced sonomicrometer users will recognize is their omnidirectional nature. When combined with our advanced digital circuitry, no crystal alignment is required during the implantation process.

For those not familiar with sonomicrometry, the purpose of the crystals is twofold: first they transmit an ultrasonic pulse and secondly they receive the pulses from the other crystals. The sonomicrometer will measure the difference in time from the transmission of the sound wave from one crystal to it being received by the other crystals, this difference in time can then be derived as a distance measure.

Old style crystals and analog sonomicrometer systems could only send and receive sound patterns in a narrow beam, a limitation that we have been able to overcome.

Choices in crystal size and type are dependant on the animal size and type of research.
