Exotic electrodes....

So I have been going through a huge tranche of thermofischer instrument spares a friend of mine bought as a bulk lot.
The photos below show some electrodes that have been xrd'ed (I know the limitations of these benchtops units, however as the material is very fine...) As ruthenium, rhodium, platinum, iridium alloys with some minor other metals (1%cu, 2%au).
Anyone want to buy them, they are the cage shaped ones. 5 in total.
Also the t shaped electrodes 4 in total these are iridium with a yttrium coating and a thoria coating, the specs for which can be found via the part no.s
Also there's the pictured collimator. Hell knows what to do with it.
The icp_ms sample cones are nickel with platinum tips, they make awesome spinning tops..
Scrapping it would be heresy...

Oh I should add I have the XRD output as a photograph in my other phone whose battery went kaput yesterday. I'll buy another tomorrow and load those images then. Here are some other ones of those items I described...
