STAR TREK: TNG “VIRAL – BACTERIOLOGICAL SCANNER” FROM “SHADES OF GRAY”

A prop medical device featured in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Shades of Gray”. The item appeared in sickbay scenes taking place while “Commander Riker” (Jonathan Frakes) was infected with a virulent agent. The item is molded resin with a molded resin sensor ring in the center that also mounts a lighted node on a trio of metal supports. The hand grip features a switch and button to activate internally mounted electronic features. The item is powered by two banks of AAA sized 1.5volt batteries with soldiered leads. At the time of location the batteries had been stored for a number of years and were thus removed. A photograph of the lesser or the corroded banks indicates the powering configuration but batteries are not included. The item measures approx. 9.5 X 5 X 1.75 inches.
