The [[#Aspects|aspects]] that make up objects can be scanned by using a '''Thaumometer'''. Hold down both Shift + right-click to scan without interacting with a block. Not all objects are scannable for points, and scanning will be sometimes blocked because of undiscovered aspects. The quest “Just Tell Me What to Scan Already!” offers a list of items to scan, in order, to unlock aspects quickly. When discovering a new aspect, a scrolling message <span style="color:#FF8C00">"You have discovered <aspect>!"</span> in golden orange will appear. A white text message "Nothing can be learned from this" means the block or item has no assigned aspects to scan.

Some research options in the Thauminomicon won't appear until certain items in the world are scanned. For example, iron ingots unlocks Magical Metallurgy for creating Thaumium, and scanning a torch unlocks Alumentum and Nitor pages. A message in neon green saying <span style="color:#00FF00"> "You have discovered a clue to new research"</span> will appear. Scan everything, including non-block items like Portals or entities. GT:NH includes an inventory scanning upgrade. Hold the Thaumometer over any item in an inventory to scan it without having to throw entities on the ground. New discoveries and research points will be shown in a scrolling list. The speed and number of messages can be adjusted in Thaumcraft's [[Commands and Configurations#Thaumcraft|configs]]. Scanning aspects gives points that can be used to unlock new discoveries in the Research Table via a mini-game.
