If you Enter Orbit on a planet, you will have the option to Scan it. When scanning, you can move your target around the planet. Then simply launch your probe and collect your resources.

I don't bother with the small amounts. Doing that I got over , of all resources but element zero which I had over , of. Don't hold down the scanning button when moving up and down - tap it until you think you've found a potential spot, and only drop probes on the big spikes.

You'll never run out of resources, and it's not as tedious doing it a little bit at a time. I do hold down the scanning button while moving up and down, but I'm kinda obsessive about getting every possible resource out of a planet!

Question Status How many resources do I need? Answered Is there a maximum amount of resources that you can have at once? Answered Do mineral resources carry over? Answered Is there a faster way to scan planets for resources? Some good advice is not to fire a probe unless the mineral node is higher than four or five bars up. After firing a probe, renew the process of going up and down while slowly scrolling until coming across another probe location; this means the planet has already been scanned all over.
Yes, it's still possible to miss a few nodes, but don't bother searching for more unless the planet has moderate or greater resources still remaining. Depleted planets can not justify the cost of firing probes. Lastly, keep track of planets that have been scanned fully, either by writing them down or by pledging to fully scan each planet that has been visited. Players who visit every planet but don't remember which ones have been scanned will have to revisit all of them.
Mordin Solus is required to complete any upgrades, so take the Illusive Man's advice and recruit him as soon as possible. Thane Krios will double the number of probes that can be carried on scanning expeditions with his Modular Probe Bay upgrade. And Miranda offers the Advanced Mineral Scanner which speeds up the speed at which the scanner can scroll over a planet.
