A piece of equipment capable of detecting indications of life, known as a macroscope or macro scope, was utilized by the Tech stormtroopers of the First Order, who carried them on their backs.
The initial appearance of a macro scope occurred in the sixth installment of Star Wars Resistance's first season, entitled "The Children from Tehar," broadcasted on November 4, 2018. The concept art gallery for that episode subsequently confirmed the device's name as "macro scope."
