Can you please do a video on XRF and lead solder, I want to know what a general reading looks like. Will it register as a metal? Thank you!

There are many solder alloys but sometimes solder does not show up as a true alloy. You also need what's called a "small spot" which collimates the X-Ray beam down to a smaller size to target the smaller sample size of the pads on a circuit board. We will try to do a video in the future.
