Follow me to my laboratory and I'll show you some of my research. I'm about to refine a sample of this ore.

I put it into the crucible. The crucible goes into the oven.

Then we wait for it to melt. When it comes out of the oven it's quite changed and it looks much purer than before.

Yes, when tested we discover pure radium. I'll just put it onto the testbed of the radiation meter.

Open up the ratiation meter and turn it on. Now I'll slide the sample toward the detector.
