Saw that comment coming...
The PR states that:
"The San Marcos-based company plans to immediately hire four workers after it acquires new intermediate quantum dot production equipment, scheduled for June. The additional equipment will require hiring another seven to 10 employees, CEO Stephen Squires said Tuesday."
So, with that said, would it not be logical &/or entirely likely that the 'preliminary (initial) equipment' , "the 1st microreactor" ('pilot reactor', as-was previously announced) isn't 'already' here & was perhaps removed from this workstation for this PR, for trade secrecy or other proprietary reasons ? Alternatively, the picture could also (separately) depict one of the workstations (note a similar station behind Steve) that will accommodate the regular reactors when they arrive....with the 'pilot reactor' not being shown at all, for the same reasons stated above.
Either way, I think it unwarranted to minimize the importance of this PR...this PR doesn't define exactly what the "intermediate production equipment" is, but it does say "intermediate" , as-in 'middle'.
Just sayin'
