Gamma-ray sensors for gathering soil, sediment, and mineral composition
Collect high-resolution composition data with a sensor designed for effortless surveys. Gain instant insights into what lies beneath your feet.
The soil is ticking
Every soil contains naturally occuring radionuclides. With the Medusa sensor, even the slightest variations in radionuclide concentrations within the soil can be detected, offering valuable insights into the soil's composition.
Applications
Soil & sediment mapping
Soil composition is crucial for professionals like soil scientists, agronomists, environmental scientists, and farmers. Conventional methods provide limited insights into soil heterogeneity. Our advanced sensors enable digital mapping of soil texture, revealing genuine field diversity for informed decision-making in agriculture, land management, and environmental conservation.
Contamination mapping
Contamination of soil and sediments by heavy metals and organic compounds poses significant environmental and economic concerns, particularly in floodplains and waterbodies. Gamma-ray sensors have become an effective means of accurately mapping the distribution of soil and sediment contamination, offering dependable and comprehensive data on spatial variations which are used to manage and dispose of contaminated sites.
Mining exploration and remediation
Gamma-ray sensors traditionally used in small aircraft for geophysics can now be deployed under drones. They provide valuable insights into the composition and structure of the Earth's subsurface, enabling geologists to detect, map, and remediate various elements and minerals. This capability greatly facilitates mineral exploration and contaminated site remediation efforts.
mDOS & Gamman
medusa Detector Operating System (mDOS)
We offer a uniform interface across all our products. Whether conducting an airborne survey for mineral exploration, locating a lost source with a UAV, or utilizing our detector for a handheld survey to map the environment, you can rely on the same user-friendly interface. This software is specifically developed for in-the-field use, optimized for ease of use, and designed to automate your survey workflow.
Gamman post-processing software
For situations that require post-processing of data, a seamless connection with mDOS facilitates rapid reprocessing. The system is available with a graphical user interface and also as a set of command-line tools for both Windows and Linux, allowing you to integrate the analysis seamlessly into your existing workflow.
Gamma-ray sensors
Medusa specializes in producing gamma-ray survey sensors optimized for geophysical applications, whether terrestrial or aerial. We believe these systems should be user-friendly and hassle-free, enabling you to concentrate on your survey, not on managing your equipment. Simplify your surveys with our intuitive and lightweight gamma-ray sensors.
Medusa Radiometrics leads the way
Enhance your business with maps created by the finest gamma-ray spectrometer available. Our lightweight, user-friendly gamma-ray sensors cater to various applications, including mining, agriculture, soil mapping, contamination mapping, nuclear research, and radiation safety. These sensors can be seamlessly integrated into survey vehicles such as aircraft, ATVs, and drones, or we can provide them as convenient handheld devices.
Drone-optimized gamma-ray sensor
Medusa gamma-ray sensors have set the industry benchmark for drone-based soil and geological mapping. To ensure a successful application of these sensors, it's crucial that they provide precise measurements of radionuclide concentrations in the soil.
Soil mapping made easy
