Colonials employ a handheld scanner of electronic instrumentality with a variety of purposes.
Handheld scanners are typically palm-sized and affixed to equipment belts, including the weapon's belt worn by Colonial Warriors. Some scanners have electronic components, such as chips and transistors, fixed atop a haircell textured shell (TOS: "War of the Gods, Part I").
Medical scanner
edit
Medtechs employ similar handheld devices capable of recording a person's life signs and physical condition (TOS: "Greetings From Earth").
Solium scanner
edit
Apollo uses a wand-like solium scanner[1] while part of Beta Company during inspections of the freighter Gemini (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").
Notes
edit- The various box-like scanners, the personal communicator, and transmitter tend to be similar, as they are variations of the same base prop re-used and redressed throughout the series.
