Medusa Radiometrics MS-700 gamma-ray spectrometer
Sub-5kg drone gamma-ray spectrometer for soil, contamination and mineral mapping.
A gamma-ray spectrometer (GRS) measures and analyzes the energy and intensity of gamma rays emitted by radioactive substances — each element's specific gamma energies make GRS instruments essential across geophysics, environmental and security applications.
The Medusa Radiometrics MS-700 is optimised for drones: at under 5kg it suits off-the-shelf UAVs, and performs exceptionally well flying low and slow for prospecting, soil mapping and pollution mapping.
