SECTION 1
ABSTRACT
The Quantum-Object Scanner is the most advanced of Zenith-era sensor systems. It has an active and passive scanning mode, and can identify the density/concentration of Phi-Matter.
SECTION 2
SUMMARY
The Quantum-Object Scanner is an active/passive hybrid sensor unit that observes local Foundspace. Passive scanning does not create any scan signiture, while active scanning has a higher range, fidelity, and stealth bypass. QO scanners are also capable of advanced surface analysis of Phi-Matter and infused objects to determine the concentration/density of Phi-Matter (known as the infusion index).
The limit of QO scan range is approximately one hour of Hyperwarp, or approximately 4,620 light-years of area around the scanner. The extreme range is capable of basic analysis, including rough shape, mass, energy content, and (for most supercausal engines) supercausal transit signiture.

HISTORY
The Quantum-Object Scanner (often referred to as QO Scanner) was developed on date [42,227-7-22] by the Beholder corporation during the final era of technological deceleration. Its creation was not followed up by any superior technologies (before the Phi Period), and therefore became the ultimate scanner technology.
