Tetryon Scanner (Jo'Bril Autopsy)

A handheld medical scanner used in the Enterprise-D morgue during Jo'Bril's autopsy to detect tetryon particles in subdermal tissue. Initially wielded by Beverly Crusher and later operated by Nurse Ogawa, the device is recalibrated from standard to enhanced sensitivity mode, revealing faint traces of tetryon particles embedded in the corpse. The scanner's readouts shift from blank to displaying the traces, confirming deliberate sabotage of the shuttle's metaphasic shields. The device's hum fills the tense silence as Ogawa watches skeptically while Beverly studies the results.
