Drone-Based DetectorsGamma Ray Detection & Identification

Medusa offers a range of easy-to-use survey tools built to make measuring spatial variation in soil a breeze. At the heart of these tools are our gamma-ray spectrometers, which passively pick up the natural radioactivity in the top layer of soil. They’re designed with simplicity in mind, so anyone can get started with minimal effort. On this page, you’ll find an overview of the different sensor sizes Medusa Radiometrics offers, each suited for specific types of applications.

*Drone or UAV not included. For users prioritizing compact and efficient deployment, the MS-350 sensor is optimized for integration with the DJI M350 RTK drone platform. With a flight endurance of up to 30 minutes, this pairing enables comprehensive data collection over extensive areas, ensuring uninterrupted performance for critical survey missions.
