This is a Thermo handheld XRF. I wasn’t working at this place when it was purchased, but it was somewhere between $40k-$60k.
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)
