Gamma radiation scan

A gamma radiation scan

Gamma radiation is the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, encompassing the shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.

The Federation used gamma rays to re-crystallize dilithium, used in a warp core. This energy could be measured by gamma-ray spectrometer.

During a scan of Aldean DNA, Doctor Beverly Crusher was able to confirm that gamma ray exposure was not responsible for the Aldeans' sterility. (TNG: "When The Bough Breaks")

Paul stubbs fires at nanites

Paul Stubbs uses gamma radiation to sterilize a population of nanites in the Enterprise's computer core

Wesley Crusher's sentient nanites could be killed with gamma radiation. (TNG: "Evolution")

The lateral sensors of the USS Enterprise-D could be set to detect gamma radiation. (TNG: "Silicon Avatar")

When the spaceborne species dubbed Junior accelerated, an internal buildup of gamma particles was registered. (TNG: "Galaxy's Child")

When Doctor Timicin tried to re-vitalize the sun Praxillus, one of the side affects was a seventeen hundred percent rise in gamma radiation levels. (TNG: "Half a Life")

The Crystalline Entity left behind a trail of antiprotons and gamma radiation. By using a gamma scan, the path of the creature could be detected. (TNG: "Silicon Avatar")

In 2368, Jean-Luc Picard told William Riker to have science lab 3 begin a series of gamma emission tests on an experimental soliton wave. (TNG: "New Ground")

The Trialan sun gave off gamma bursts shortly before Meridian shifted from one dimension into another. This was an indicator of an anomaly in the sun's fusion cycle. (DS9: "Meridian")

The USS Rio Grande was exposed to high levels of gamma radiation in 2370 after it traveled near Orellius Minor. (DS9: "Paradise")

Klingon mines emitted gamma rays that caused severe radiation burns. After the IKS Drovana struck such a mine in 2372, Dr. Julian Bashir treated 15 badly burnt crewmen. {DS9: "Sons of Mogh")

The damaged warp core of Tieran's Ilari starship leaked drive plasma and gamma radiation. (VOY: "Warlord")

A set of binary pulsars encountered by USS Voyager in 2374 emitted high levels of gamma radiation. (VOY: "Scientific Method")

In 2376, the Vaadwaur homeworld was found to be heavily contaminated with highly toxic levels of gamma radiation. (VOY: "Dragon's Teeth")

Borg weaponry produced gamma radiation. The Brunali homeworld had residual gamma radiation due to numerous Borg incursions. (VOY: "Child's Play")
