Thank you for that. Well that is quite interesting indeed. How does the Fakopp do compared to Picus, have you had experience with both? I mean from the image it looks like it does a pretty decent job. 

The extra Ludwig nails/reflectors you can use with  the Fakopp kit to increase resolution and the software sold it for me, as did having used their microsecond timer a lot with the same combined sensor/nail system that has stood up well so far, especially handy for climbing decay detection.

Big ol' Pseudoinonotus dryadeus on Holm oak in Malvern.

Noticed in the woods tonight, seen it once before I think but don't know what it's called. Looked at first like a feather duster, it's very delicate.

Hello.  It's a Fakopp Arborsonic.  For interest, here is the tomogram image. 

What ball park are we looking at here Paul? Could be of interest, in what we are doing. As picus seems beyond the budget. K

It’s been a few years since we bought it so I’m not sure on current pricing - and it depends on a few options such as the number of sensors and Bluetooth callipers....but ball park would be around £10k I think.

Orange wig on a stick?

Coprinus ozonation (spelt wrong), and a meadow wax cap.
