Portable Scanners
Hand-held devices that can detect/analyze electromagnetic energy and other objects. The original expedition to Abydos used scanners to analyze the local food and minerals. Samantha Carter used a scanner to analyze electromagnetic energy emanating from the crystal skull in the episode "Crystal Skull". She also used a similar device to detect electromagnetic energy emanating from the android Reese when SG-1 discovered her in an alien tomb in the episode "Menace". In the episode "The Quest" Carter used a hand held scanner to detect the time displacement field as the team navigate their way through ancient trials towards the Sangraal.
