Hmm part of a condom factory?

[defanjos]

[jimbo_mac]

some sort of amplifier?

[hakre]

is it (part of) an electron microscope?

[Triple_H]

could this be another design for chromatography?

[bunltd]

Heh heh, no Killroy.

defanjos: does not create or modify. Measure, not necessarily.

[werty]

It looks like a really fancy expresso machine...

[bunltd]

Not an amplifier...

Not chromatography

hakre is on the scent...

And werty, that is exactly what I thought when I found it.

[defanjos]

Is this gizmo used in the semiconductor industry?

[Triple_H]

the silver-like thing sticking out on the top makes me think it's a home-made water fountain...

[ukgimp]

some kind of black light device?

[bunltd]

Not an x-ray source.

No black light.

[defanjos]

Is that thing on the top an Infrared lamp?

[bunltd]

[defanjos]

Is that a Microtome?

[Triple_H]

is it some sort of filter?

[bunltd]

Not a microtome, not a filter...

[takagi]

To operate this device, you have to press on that thing on the top (like a stamp)?

[bunltd]

no, takagi, it doesn't function like that.

[defanjos]

so, it is a type of microscope, correct?
