Sickbay sensor cluster aboard a Galaxy class starship
The sensor cluster is a large, circular array of sensors.
Such an array is located above the primary biobed in some Starfleet sickbays. This unit contained a number of sophisticated biosensors, and could also project a forcefield for restraining patients or maintaining a sterile environment.

- The sensor cluster set piece was originated on the Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation. It was also part of the Voyager sickbay as well as that of the Enterprise NX-01.
