Imaging the inner part of large geological targets is an important issue in
geosciences with various applications. Dif- ferent approaches already exist
(e.g. gravimetry, electrical tomography) that give access to a wide range of
informations but with identified limitations or drawbacks (e.g. intrinsic
ambiguity of the inverse problem, time consuming deployment of sensors over
large distances). Here we present an alternative and complementary tomography
method based on the measurement of the cosmic muons flux attenuation through
the geological structures. We detail the basics of this muon tomography with a
special emphasis on the photo-active detectors.
