And I think there's handheld mics that can get passed around.
this tiny little region over here versus one from over here that's two or three stages away uh that we're really excited about the incorporation with the handheld DNA sequencers with our mine project we need x-ray fluorescents to be able to shoot X-rays at rocks and get back a reading of what minerals are in those rocks uh and the list goes on and
