Medusa provides a variety of survey tools designed for effortless measurement of spatial soil variation. Our gamma-ray spectrometers, which are at the core of these tools, passively detect the natural radioactivity present in the soil. They are incredibly user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to use.
The MS-350 is designed for hand-held surveys. However, it is also successfully used as an ultralight drone-borne system. With its weight below 3 kg, it is well-suited for smaller drones.
