Abstract

Sensors for imaging boreholes via the detection of electrical and optical properties may be subject to harsh conditions downhole, such as from pressure and temperature. In addition, these sensors may be subject to impact, such as tension, elongation, and compression forces, along the wall of the borehole. The harsh conditions downhole and impacts on the sensor can lead to premature wear and even breaking. The present disclosure generally relates to an apparatus for measuring electrical and optical properties of the borehole and methods for manufacturing the apparatus.
