"I know that Miami Police Department has about 220,000 spectra of all the illicit drugs that are out there in the world. You just take these things; you can shoot them and ten second later you know what they’re holding: is it baby powder, is it cocaine? Really easy to tell."
They're also talking about using it to diagnose breast cancer and the cost? $2000 to $5000. Wow in a word. |
