This instrument measures simultaneously the amount and direction of the deviation of a borehole. The sonde is fitted with a small camera on the axis of a graduated glass bowl in which a steel ball rolls freely and a compass mounted on gimbals. The sonde is designed to lie exactly parallel to the axis of the borehole. When a reading is required at a particular depth, the camera is electrically operated from the surface and takes a photograph of the bowl. The steel ball has rolled to the lowest point and so marks the amount of deviation. Its position in relation to the image of the compass needle gives the direction of deviation. 1, record 5, English, - Schlumberger%20photoclinometer

Clinomètres optiques : Ces appareils sont de plusieurs types : [...] Un [...] fabriqué par Schlumberger, comprend une aiguille aimantée, une caméra, une source de lumière et un clinomètre constitué d'une bille libre de se déplacer sur une coupelle sphérique en verre, graduée et centrée sur l'axe du forage [...]. La caméra permet de prendre à volonté des photos sur lesquelles sont superposées l'aiguille aimantée, la bille et les graduations de la coupelle. La position de la bille par rapport au centre donne l'inclinaison du trou, tandis que la position de la bille par rapport à l'aiguille en donne l'azimut. La coupelle en verre se fait en trois modèles suivant la valeur de l'angle d'inclinaison moyen: 5, 10 et 20 °. Suivant le type, la précision de la mesure varie de 10 à 40 minutes. Les indications de la boussole ne sont évidemment valables que si le forage n'est pas tubé. L'appareil a une longueur de 1,40 m et un diamètre de 90 mm.
