Myriad Universes: sensors
Sensors, sometimes called scanners,[1] were devices that allowed for the detection of events or changes in the environment, such as light or gravity.[2] The sensors aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 were said to be so sensitive that they could detect the heat of a lit match from orbit.[3] They could also determine a life form's internal temperature, as well as detect the electrical impulses of their nervous system and determine if they were in motion.[4] Sensors were in frequent use aboard the ship as well, and could be set to detect sounds as faint as a heartbeat.[5] Tricorders were a type of handheld sensor device.[3] Handheld sensor devices capable of more specialized scans[6] were also available for use by the crew.[7]
