What's the interface like for testing samples? If there is any chance to do it at-range, such a tool would be amazing coupled with a camera and built into an augmented reality system.

Ha, that would be cool. Unfortunately, to get molecular and sub-molecular resolution on single molecules you have be pretty close to the target (nanometers/Angstroms). You basically load a liquid containing the analyte into the device and push go.

Maybe one just needs to put it on a drone!

EDIT: I wasn't trying to be snarky. I get excited by certain ideas and was just riffing.
