Here is the case, sale at $19.99.


Yes, it's been interesting reading everyone's test reports!? I think I got one of your Cs calibrated soil samples a few years back.? I really do need to organize...

I was working on the 100 amp service into the shed yesterday and took some pics with my thermal imaging camera.? The corrugated steel outer skin (it's TX!), compared tot eh areas with sheathing and 3.5" of polyiso insulation installed, and then areas with the interior radiant barrier sheathing installed.? Very interesting.

You guys are making me want to hurry up and get some projects done so I can play with my setup!

By the way, Home Depot right now has a padded foam travel case on special purchase for $19.99 that is the perfect size to carry/protect the Amptek unit, power supply, some exciters and misc calibration sources.

Another thing?
The plastic mount is a tape?reel with a?hole in the center
Perfect of samples to be placed on top
The pic of the tap is without the reel
It is just an object to help me take a pic shot
In case anyone is wondering..

Thanks for the interesting report. Also on the old forum a member took scraping from white deposits left in the burner of his cooking stove,

In the outside environment I take samples from cracks and crevices of rain drain grates, very good at collecting and concentrating heavy particles, too small to see.

Hi guys

I have done this before in the old forum

This time with better results?

My faucet spout has a??silvery shiny surface with some mottling.Blocked by water deposits due water stagnation.

But I have a confession to make

The faucet was??mounted on white rounded plaster holder at the base

Not in the path of the primary beam

The results show various elements?

Ni,Cu,Zn??,Pb and perhaps Fe

Ni is the??shiny outer coating?

Zinc is the faucet spout

Cu is coming from brass??within (Cu and Zn)

Pb from solder?

Fe if present from plates/escutcheon ?

Zn causing corrosion and??heavy deposits

This cheap Chinese Zn faucet is a bad choice?

Deposits are contributing too

That will be another topic
