A borehole logging system for the measure and the telemetry of properties
and conditions of a well borehole environs. The system is embodied to
measure fluids within the borehole, to measure high resolution images of
the wall of the borehole, to transfer of data to and from equipment
operating within the borehole environment, and to determine the status of
equipment operating within the borehole. The embodiments are based upon
emission, measurement and processing of electromagnetic radiation in the
near infrared (NIR) region of the radiation spectrum.
