EDX-720
Today’s thing is just a huge pile of photos of a Shimadzu EDX-720 energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer!

As there are XRays involved, there’s a huge heavy metal shield which is the bulk of the instrument.
I’ve pulled out the detector, and have been pondering what to do with it…
But for now… just a huge number of photos:
