Medusa offers a range of user-friendly survey tools designed to simplify measurement of spatial variation in soil composition. At the core are passive gamma-ray spectrometers that detect natural radioactivity in the top soil layer—requiring minimal setup and training for fast, effective field use.

Passive detection of natural gamma radiation (K, U, Th, total counts)
Simple, intuitive operation — ideal for beginners and experienced users
Built for efficient mapping of soil properties, geology, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and mineral exploration

Sensor Overview:

Multiple sensor sizes available, each optimized for specific survey types and applications (handheld/portable to vehicle-mounted/large-area configurations)
Scalable solutions to match resolution needs, terrain, coverage area, and mobility requirements

Perfect for soil science, precision agriculture, geochemical mapping, contamination assessment, and radiometric surveying with reliable, low-effort data collection.

*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.
