About the GEM Systems GSM-19 Overhauser Magnetometer

The GSM-19 (Overhauser configuration) uses RF polarization of free electrons to continuously polarize the proton population, delivering substantially higher sensitivity and faster sampling than classical proton precession sensors while retaining their drift-free, absolute measurement principle.

It is used as a primary reference-grade instrument in mineral exploration, magnetic observatories, and any survey where proton-precession sensitivity is no longer sufficient but full atomic (cesium/potassium) cost isn't justified.
