When I found out they had lead last year, I went to work with the cup to confirm. This is a handheld XRF, which depends on the specific spacing of electrons in atoms to determine the identity. Not much to it other than point and shoot! (with shielding)

Modern tools are fascinating, the way you described it sounds so absurdly high tech
That is not a cheap toy. I’ve heard of them, never seen one. What is it and how much was it?
This is a Thermo handheld XRF. I wasn’t working at this place when it was purchased, but it was somewhere between $40k-$60k.
