We describe the basis of the muon telescope used within the Temporal Tomography Densitometric by the Measure of Muons (T2DM2) project developed in the LSBB URL facilities. The telescope allows measuring the flux of muons, as well as their energy and origin for the characterization of spatial and temporal rock density variations.
