Handheld Scanner

The SGK Scanners are handheld devices used to scan various objects. The devices are of Tok’ra design, and can be used to scan the molecular constitution of objects, heat signatures, etc. in real-time. The device can do this from a small distance, but scans become more limited, having especial difficulty detecting liquids.

History
Three such devices were a “gift” to the SGK upon the formation of the Tokra-Tau’ri Alliance, which were later used to discover that the SGK base had two floors unknown to the SGK. Due to the device’s limitations, the water on these floors was not detected until too late. Once a hole was formed, the scan confirmed this. Anthony and Ben toyed with the idea of using them to control Base automated processes such as the Carbon Filters and the Power Grid and scan the surface, but this has yet to be achieved.
