Sensors
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-4000 airborne gamma-ray sensor. A detector used by geophysical survey companies, geotechnical consultants, and research institutes to capture soil variation in large areas.

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.
