Star Trek: Enterprise, Starfleet Scanner

replica movie prop

A scanner was a generic term referring to a hand-held sensory device. Scanners were common during the mid-22nd century and used by a variety of space-faring cultures and institutions such as Starfleet, the Earth Sciences Institute, Ferengi privateers, the Suliban Cabal, and the Vulcan High Command. Scanners were the presumed precursors to the tricorder of the 23rd and 24th centuries.

Sometimes referred to as a hand scanner, the Starfleet scanner was common during the 2150s. Distinguished by a square-shaped body lined with black grips, this scanner featured a display and interface that could be closed, making the device more compact for storage.

This hero replica is made from pressure-cast resin and is hollow to allow for electronics. A button on one of the grips activates the pop up mechanism. It has been painted in screen accurate colors.
