Potential applications of muon tomography, or muography, as non-invasive scanning method have increased in the last years together with the performance of the particle detectors used for muon detection, known as muon telescopes. A new concept muon telescope is presented, which could enlarge even more the range of application of this technique. It is based on a compact TPC equipped with a 2D pixelized Micromegas detector with multiplexed readout. This detector will overcome some of the constraints of the instruments currently used, as they limited acceptance, while keeping other features required for muography as stability, robustness or portability. Moreover, it will be capable to reconstruct the 3D direction of the incident muons with a single instrument. With its design and features, this kind of detectors can be fitted at boreholes from where they can scan the surroundings, being an interesting technique for mining exploration, geotechnics or monitoring of dykes or bridges which has arouse the interest of industry. In a further phase it is expected to develop a network of these detectors which will allow the 3D reconstruction of the studied object by the combination of the images registered by each of the telescopes. Main features and first tests and results of this new instrument will be presented together with some studies, performed by Monte Carlo simulations, of the capabilities of this muon telescope and the analysis principle.
