Handheld device of human design which can detect the presence of the mineral naquadah. Later models were based on the scanner taken to Abydos by the first team to go through the Stargate. But the technology was eventually modified to detect the mineral in its multiple forms.

The Earth ship Prometheus also possesses powerful sensors capable of detecting naquadah at or near the surface of a planet from orbit.
