The Industrial mineral scanner was a model of scanner made by Crozo Industrial Products and available in the period following the Battle of Yavin during the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The device cost 500 credits.[1] The mineral scanner could send out a 100-meter pulse in all directions that would survey the area for nearby minerals. Lower concentrations of minerals would show up faded on the data screen, whereas higher concentrations would show up more solid.
