With 55 years of experience in manufacturing meteorological instruments, we have provided sensors for many unique applications. We have been fortunate to acquire many photographs showing our products in use. If you have an interesting photograph showing a YOUNG instrument in the field, we would love to see it. Perhaps we can add it to our gallery for others to enjoy.
