*Abstract:*

This video features an interview with John Oliver, host of "Last Week Tonight," shortly after his two Emmy wins. The discussion covers the practical challenges of carrying multiple heavy Emmy trophies and a humorous tangent about his childhood dog. Oliver details his remarkably short 19-second Emmy speech, which significantly boosted a charity donation as part of a challenge. He humorously describes his relief at not winning the "Talk Show Emmy" over Stephen Colbert and expresses confusion over the ever-changing HBO/HBO Max branding. The interview concludes with mentions of his monthly residency with Seth Meyers and an upcoming New Year's Eve solo show in Philadelphia, chosen for its unique audience.

*Interview with John Oliver: Emmy Wins, Charity Speeches, and Unpacking HBO Max*

*   *0:00 John Oliver's Emmy Wins:* The host introduces John Oliver, who recently won two Emmy trophies, each weighing 6 lbs 12.5 oz, for "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" on HBO and HBO Max.
*   *0:35 Discomfort with Compliments:* Oliver expresses his discomfort with compliments, particularly being told he's "much taller than you'd guess," which he interprets as an insult implying he appears small on screen.
*   *2:23 The Burden of Trophies:* Oliver highlights the impracticality of carrying multiple heavy Emmy trophies, noting they are not designed for more than one, and humorously compares the carrying box to a "coffin for a small pet."
*   *3:16 A Darkly Humorous Dog Story:* A humorous, albeit dark, exchange about the host's childhood dog, Fluffy, who drowned in a pool, and Oliver's past dog loss, leading to a shared moment of laughing through pain.
*   *4:31 Emmy Security Risk:* Oliver jokes about the sharp, heavy metal Emmys posing a security risk when carried onto planes, suggesting one could theoretically "bludgeon a pilot to death" or even "hijack a plane" with them.
*   *5:13 Charity Challenge and Short Speech:* Oliver's 19-second Emmy acceptance speech contributed $26,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of America, fulfilling a challenge where Nate Bargatze deducted or added money based on speech length. Oliver humorously admits his primary motivation was to cost Bargatze money.
*   *6:43 Stephen Colbert's Win:* Oliver recounts being backstage when Stephen Colbert won the "Talk Show Emmy" and how he would have been horrified to win that award himself, imagining being booed by the audience.
*   *8:22 Post-Emmy Exhaustion:* Oliver shares he flew in specifically for the show and is flying out immediately afterward, having been up all night with his children. His kids were more impressed by him meeting "the guy from Taxi Cab TV" (Jimmy Kimmel) than his Emmy wins.
*   *9:50 HBO vs. HBO Max Confusion:* Oliver humorously struggles to explain the difference between HBO and HBO Max, describing the branding as "ephemeral" and constantly shifting, likening it to a "state of mind."
*   *10:54 Monthly Residency with Seth Meyers:* He discusses his monthly comedy residency with Seth Meyers at the Beacon Theater in New York, which involves individual standup sets followed by a joint Q&A.
*   *11:22 New Year's Eve in Philadelphia:* Oliver announces a solo New Year's Eve show in Philadelphia, jokingly attributing his choice to "hating himself" and appreciating the "consistency" and "commitment to the bit" of Philadelphia drunks. He humorously notes the post-show appreciation for life if he "makes it out of Philly Live."
*   *12:35 Show Promotion:* Final promotion for "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," airing Sundays on HBO and HBO Max.

The green LED looks different from the others and uses phosphor conversion because of the "green gap" problem where green InGaN emitters suffer efficiency droop at high currents. Phosphide based emitters don't start becoming efficient until around 600nm so also can't be used for high power green emitters. See the paper and plot by Matthias Auf der Maur in his 2015 paper on alloy fluctuations in InGaN as the cause of reduced external quantum efficiency at longer (green) wavelengths.

Narrowband filters we use in Astronomy (Astrophotography) are sided- they work best passing light in one direction so I guess the arrows on the filter frames indicate which way round to install them in the filter wheel.

The smearing on the image could be due to the fact that you don't use a shutter, so you see brighter stripes under bright areas of the image as you still iluminate these pixels while the sensor data ist shifted out towards the top. I experienced this effect back at university with a LN-Cooled CCD for Spectroscopy. The stripes disapeared as soon as you used the shutter instead of disabling it in the open position (but fokussing at 100ms integration time and continuous readout with a focal plane shutter isn't much fun).

The red LED reminds me of one from Roithner Lasertechnik. I have a Symbol 2D scanner which uses two very bright LEDs from that company, one red and one red-orange. The red-orange is behind a lens which focuses it into an extremely narrow beam.

The pricing on that sensor is about right, I looked in to these many years ago when they were still in production since it's the only large sensor you could actually buy. Really cool to see one in the wild.

Maybe the camera should not be illuminated during readout.
From the datasheet of the sensor (Onsemi): saturation 40300 electrons, read noise 12.5 electrons per pixel @ 18MHz (quite bad). quantum efficiency 62% (if it has micro lenses), frame rate 1 Hz. lateral overflow drain to prevent blooming protects against 800x (factor increases linearly with exposure time) saturation exposure (32e6 electrons per pixel at 4ms exposure time), microlens has +/- 20 degree acceptance angle
i guess it would be good for astrophotography

0:00
so I've stripped all the bits of the
0:01
optical system so basically we've got
0:03
the uh the camera
0:05
itself which is mounted on this uh very
0:09
complex
0:10
adjustment thing which obviously to set
0:13
you the various tilt and uh alignment
0:15
stuff then there's two of these massive
0:18
lenses I've taken one of these apart I
0:20
think there's something like about eight
0:22
or nine Optical elements in here these
0:25
don't seem to do a great deal in terms
0:26
of electr magnification they're obiously
0:28
just about getting the image to where it
0:29
uh where it needs to be just so that
0:33
goes like that then this Optical block I
0:36
originally thought this was made of some
0:37
s crazy heavy material but it's just
0:39
really the sum of all these Optical bits
0:41
are just ridiculously heavy those lenses
0:43
are about 4 kilos each and then there's
0:45
this very heavy very solid um piece that
0:47
goes in the middle and this is so this
0:49
is the filter wheel assembly with a
0:51
hilariously oversized steper
0:53
motor driving this wheel with these very
0:57
large narrow band filters so we've got
1:00
various different shades of uh
1:03
filters there five Al together that
1:06
one's actually just showing up a silver
1:07
that's actually a a red but fairly low
1:10
transmission orangey red blue green
1:15
there's an excess cover on this side so
1:16
the filters can be accessed and changed
1:19
without taking anything else apart even
1:21
this is like ridiculous it's like solid
1:23
aluminium this is just basically a cover
1:25
the actual wavelengths of these are um
1:27
488 525 570 630 and 700 NM not sure what
1:32
the suffix on that perhaps that's the uh
1:34
the width of the spectral line say these
1:37
are very narrow band filters most of
1:39
them are you very little light through
1:41
so it's still very tight narrow band to
1:43
match the um fluoresence of the dies
1:45
they're using in the biochemical process
1:48
and obviously to reject the light that's
1:49
being fired at it from that Illuminator
1:51
box and then there's a there's a second
1:53
one of these lenses then the actual sort
1:55
of samples below that so uh very serious
1:58
amount of very uh chunky heavy Optics
2:01
okay let's take a look at this light
2:02
source made by company Lumen Dynamics
2:04
who are now part of
2:06
excelitas self-contained unit power
2:08
connector USB and this which one of the
2:11
Cable Bundle said was a TTL interface
2:14
USB wasn't used in uh the fluid
2:17
application output here and I think this
2:19
is an input for um light feedback I
2:21
don't if it's regulated or just a measur
2:23
measurement facility and the uh fiber
2:27
assembly
2:29
Square Inlet there and then there's two
2:32
outputs which have uh lens assemblies
2:35
and this small one which goes back into
2:37
that small Port just Loops out of here
2:40
straight back in So on this side we've
2:42
got the electronics which look pretty
2:44
straightforward we've got a bit of power
2:45
supply stuff over here and we've got
2:48
separate drivers for each wavelength now
2:50
interesting this is clearly been very
2:52
specifically made for this application
2:54
you I was half expecting like say some
2:56
generic drivers that could be used for a
2:58
number of different things but actually
3:00
literally specified the exact wavelength
3:02
on the PCB there is provision here for
3:04
385 NM which isn't populated but this is
3:07
clearly been designed very specifically
3:09
so these four drivers look the same but
3:10
then there's two higher power ones for
3:12
575 and
3:14
520 a slightly bigger heat sink on this
3:16
575 section there a p 24 which is
3:20
providing USB interface USB isolator the
3:23
USB interface just presents as a comport
3:26
I did have a quick look but I didn't
3:27
actually get anything sensible um I did
3:29
dump the Pi code out and there's a few
3:31
you a few sort of commands that you
3:32
could see in text but I didn't actually
3:34
manage to get it working properly I
3:36
found some software for related version
3:38
but it didn't seem to want to talk to it
3:39
but um I say that wasn't used for the
3:41
original application it might be quite
3:42
interesting to get try and get the Run
3:44
hours count out of it and the TTL
3:46
interface looks fairly straightforward
3:48
we've got positions for six opto
3:50
isolators but only five five are
3:52
installed so that corresponds with the
3:54
unused thing so I think this hopefully
3:56
should be as simple as just providing a
3:57
ttrl signal for each color to uh enable
4:00
it a big heat sink here which is there I
4:03
think there's like a big S of metal
4:04
plate through the middle of this that
4:05
all the leads are mounted on the other
4:07
side so this is heat sinking it with a
4:09
air flow from a uh just a fan in here
4:13
obviously don't have the air flow
4:14
anywhere near the Optics so conduction
4:17
cool through to this plate that's then
4:18
uh air cooled got some pots which are
4:21
presumably power
4:22
adjustments okay let's take a look at
4:24
the other side which is uh much more
4:27
interesting see we've got some uh very
4:31
uh neatly Twisted cable assemblies there
4:35
a bunch of leads so we've got one here
4:37
475 up here 430 NM 630 575 and 520
4:44
filters and dcro mirrors a quick way to
4:48
see what's white is if we just shine
4:49
some white light through
4:51
here not sure how it is is to see on the
4:54
camera but shining white light we do
4:55
actually get a bit of red a bit of blue
4:57
some yellow here so the obstacle path
5:00
575 it goes sort of here bounces off
5:03
this mirror and goes out the 520 goes
5:07
sort of down here across here and up
5:09
there 630 goes basically straight
5:13
through
5:15
430 goes across there down there along
5:17
there and the 475 goes down here and
5:20
left this is the light sensing thing
5:22
think here there's just a um I think
5:24
there a photo diode or other sensor
5:26
haven't actually taken that off and
5:28
everything's fixed down to this chunk of
5:31
aluminium which acts as the heat
5:32
spreader that then conducts the heat to
5:33
the back side for the heat
5:35
sink and the actual lead packages all
5:38
look fairly similar except for this one
5:41
on the 575 which looks quite a bit more
5:44
substantial big spay
5:46
Terminals and the interface for this
5:48
turned out to be extremely simple it's
5:50
literally a 5V TTL level to enable each
5:54
color doesn't seem to be any tensity
5:56
control but there are some additional
5:58
pins on that connector that weren't used
5:59
in the through time thing so maybe
6:01
there's some extra lines that control
6:02
that I couldn't find any data on this uh
6:05
unit and the um their current product
6:07
range is quite significantly different
6:09
so we've got the uh blue these
6:13
might may well be saturating the camera
6:16
so they might look a bit weird so that's
6:17
the 430
6:18
blue the 575
6:24
yellow uh
6:26
475 light blue
6:29
the uh 520
6:31
green and the uh 630 red now one
6:36
interesting thing I noticed for the
6:39
575 it's actually it's actually using a
6:42
white lead and then filtering it rather
6:44
than using all the other ones are using
6:46
leads which are the fundamental colors
6:47
but uh this is actually doing white and
6:50
it's a combination of this filter and
6:52
the dichroic mirrors that are turning to
6:55
Yellow if we take the filter out and a
6:57
lot of the a lot of the um blue content
7:00
is going this way the red is going
7:02
straight through these two mirrors so
7:05
this is clearly not reflecting much of
7:08
that so we end up with the yellow coming
7:10
out of uh out of there which is a fairly
7:14
light yellow color which you don't
7:16
really see from high intensity leads so
7:19
that's clearly why they've used the
7:20
white to uh do this power consumption of
7:23
the white is pretty high so going up to
7:25
about 2 and 1 half amps on that color
7:27
whereas most of the other colors are
7:28
only drawing half an amp or so at 24
7:30
volts the uh the green is up to about
7:32
1.2 but say this thing is uh much
7:35
brighter and if you actually run all the
7:38
colors at the same time you get a fairly
7:41
reasonable um looking white coming out
7:43
of it and one thing you might just be
7:45
out to notice is there is some sort
7:46
color banding around here that's not
7:49
getting uh everything s completely
7:51
concentric and I think that's where this
7:53
fiber optic thing comes
7:58
in I'll
8:00
get a couple of Fairly accurately shaped
8:04
very sort of uniform color and looking
8:06
at What's um inside here we've basically
8:09
just got this Square Rod so this is
8:12
clearly yeah the lights just bouncing
8:13
off all the all the various sides to um
8:16
get a nice uniform illumination uh this
8:19
back bit looks like it's all potted so
8:21
nothing I really do to get in there I
8:24
think this is fiber so I have come
8:26
across um cables like this which are
8:27
liquid fill but just looking through the
8:30
end of this it's probably a bit hard to
8:31
see it does look like there fiber ends
8:34
going going on there and so there's this
8:36
feedback thing which is just obviously
8:39
compensating for the any light losses
8:41
through here to get an accurate
8:43
representation of uh the light that's
8:45
been launched out of these two
8:47
fibers and you see uh
8:49
these have got this sort of trapezium
8:54
shape light guides again it's like a
8:56
sort of acrylic or glass light guide
9:00
guess projected just to make the right
9:03
rectangular
9:04
shape and look at this Center assembly
9:07
um the light output doesn't uh change
9:10
whether you feed this in or not so it's
9:11
clear not doing any internal Clos Loop
9:14
control obviously there may well be some
9:16
facility for it to do that but it's not
9:17
being used in this
9:19
application and so this output just
9:21
produces a voltage on the uh outle
9:24
connector proportional to the amount of
9:26
light that's present so there's a little
9:28
diffuser in the back there
9:30
and then there's just some kind of uh
9:33
Optical sensor looks like a
9:35
chip looking at the lead it's a very
9:37
small package on the PCB with this lens
9:40
assembly over the top and these look
9:43
like they're actually on a copper
9:44
Metalized PCB for maximum thermal
9:47
performance and yeah it's a very small
9:49
package looks like it's a ceramic
9:51
package and there's a thermister there
9:53
for temperature monitoring this is the
9:56
475 blue one this is the 520 need to
9:59
Green which is uh rather different OB
10:02
it's a much bigger D with lots of bond
10:04
wise but also this looks like it's using
10:05
a phosphor if I shine a blue light at it
10:08
lights up green so this is actually a
10:10
phosphor conversion green lead which
10:12
I've I've come across before they want
10:15
that specific wavelength so they may be
10:17
easier to tune a phosphor than tune the
10:20
um semiconductor material to get the uh
10:23
right right wavelength from the lead
10:24
directly uh red 630 similar size to the
10:28
blue one or does seem to have a uh a
10:31
lens on top of it there is a sort of red
10:33
coloring to
10:35
the die but that doesn't appear to be
10:38
fluorescent as far as I can
10:39
tell and the white one again a little
10:41
bit different sort of much higher
10:43
current
10:46
connectors a makeer name on that
10:48
connector flot light not sure if that's
10:52
the connector or the lead
10:54
itself and obviously with the phosphor
10:56
and I'd imagine that phosphor may well
10:58
be tuned to get the maximum to the uh 5
11:01
cenm and actually this white one looks
11:04
like a St fairly standard product I just
11:06
found it in Mouse made by luminous
11:09
devices in fact actually I think all
11:11
these are based on various luminous
11:13
devices modules and they're you take
11:17
looks like they taking the nearest
11:18
wavelength and then just using these
11:19
filters to clean it up to get a precise
11:22
uh spectral line out of it so quite a
11:25
nice neat and um extreme
11:30
bright light source uh sure I've got any
11:33
particular use for it so I think this
11:35
might end up on
11:36
eBay but uh very pretty to look out and
11:40
without the uh risk of burning your eyes
11:43
out like you do with lasers so I thought
11:45
it would be interesting to try and
11:46
figure out the runtime of this things
11:48
like this we usually keep some sort
11:49
record of runtime cuz leads degrade over
11:51
time I couldn't get any software to work
11:52
through the USB face but then had a
11:54
thought probably going to be writing the
11:55
runtime periodically to the e s prom so
11:58
I just just scope up that and noticed it
12:00
was doing right every 5 minutes so I
12:02
just ran it for a while periodically
12:04
reading the E squ I just held the pick
12:05
in in reset and um put clip over to read
12:07
the square prom and found it was writing
12:10
one location per color every 5 minutes
12:12
so if one color was on it would write
12:14
that location every 5 minutes and just
12:16
increment it by one so after doing a few
12:18
tests with different colors of different
12:19
time periods it looked extremely
12:21
straightforward it's like a four bite
12:22
count for each color looking at the
12:24
original data that was in it all the
12:26
colors apart from Green were reading
12:28
zero and the green was reading four
12:30
indicating a total 20 minutes run time
12:32
ever if it was turned on run for a short
12:34
time then turned off that might not have
12:36
been counted but even so indicates this
12:37
thing wasn't used a great deal the whole
12:40
s process of doing a run can be several
12:42
hours but it'll only be doing probably
12:43
the Imaging at the end of that so you
12:46
wouldn't expect to be running for a long
12:47
time but say a single color for 20
12:50
minutes over its whole lifetime does
12:52
seem a little bit on the low side okay
12:55
let's look at the camera un fortunately
12:57
I managed to not record any sound when I
12:58
did this it's also a couple of months
13:00
ago so there's going to be a few details
13:02
that I've forgotten so I'm just going to
13:04
dub this over the original footage so um
13:07
take the lid off see this massive great
13:10
heat sink so this is a pel cool camera
13:12
we've got this blower fan producing a
13:14
fair amount of air flow through
13:16
it the connector here there's the ccds
13:19
mounted on the board on the
13:24
right this unplugs so we've got a bit of
13:27
power supply stuff on here
13:29
USB interface I think that's the Cyprus
13:32
microcontroller High speeded USB
13:34
interface there's a zyink spon fpga some
13:40
RAM and there's a couple of ATD
13:42
converters can't quite read what those
13:45
those are but anal
13:47
devices um little bit of bodgery around
13:51
here extra decoupling obviously they
13:53
have having some noise issues this is
13:55
around the ram chip quite a lot of extra
13:57
capacitors been added there
13:59
uh there's a couple of amplifiers prior
14:01
to the HD converter buffers or Andor
14:05
amplifiers taking the CCD
14:08
signal um bit more power spy stuff here
14:11
this is probably all to do with
14:12
generating the various CCD bias voltages
14:14
they uh need quite a lot of exotic
14:18
voltages next board down is just a
14:20
shield and an interconnect
14:24
boardly shielding the power supply stuff
14:26
from some the more sensitive an log
14:28
stuff
14:31
and this is the bottom board which is
14:32
just all power supply
14:34
stuff as you can see tons of capacitors
14:37
or Transformer in
14:42
there and this is the CCD which is a uh
14:47
very impressive thing this is a kf50 100
14:50
originally by true sense then codec
14:53
there ON
14:54
Semiconductor it's 50 megapixels uh the
14:58
only price I could find was this one
15:00
5,000 bucks and the architecture you can
15:03
see there actually two separate halves
15:04
which explains the Dual AZ converters
15:06
and two amplifiers it's literally split
15:08
down the middle and duplicated so it's
15:10
outputting two streams in parallel just
15:13
to keep the bandwidth sensible and it's
15:15
got this amazing um diffraction effects
15:18
it's got micro lenses over the pixel so
15:20
there's there's a bit more Optics going
15:22
on than on a normal
15:25
sensor few more bodges on the CCD board
15:28
including this wire which isn't really
15:29
tacked down very well which is a bit uh
15:32
bit of a mess quite a few bits around
15:34
this board where they've uh tacked
15:36
various bits on which is not super
15:38
impressive looks like CCD drivers on the
15:40
left with those 3 ohm um damping
15:43
resistors on the
15:47
output get a few more little bodges
15:50
around here some of
15:52
the and there's this separator the
15:54
silica gel to keep the moisture down but
15:56
there's this separator that actually
15:58
appears to be cut from piece of
15:59
antistatic
16:04
bag and this sort of thermal block on
16:06
top of this stack of three pel Cola
16:12
modules so as with any Stacks they get
16:16
um larger as they go back towards the
16:18
heat sink because each P's got to not
16:20
only take the heat from the previous but
16:21
also the waste heat which is quite
16:27
significant you see a little temperature
16:29
sensor here that copper block which
16:32
makes contact with the back of the
16:37
CCD and this's the back of the
16:40
pelas this then contacts the heat sink
16:44
on the uh rear there a few thermal pads
16:46
as well for some of the other power
16:47
components on this
16:51
PCB okay I've connected this uh camera
16:54
up I found some drivers on the disc that
16:56
seem to work under Windows 7 couldn't
16:58
get to install under Windows 11 though
17:01
um in the absence of any sort of lens or
17:03
being bothered to the proper amount I've
17:04
just put some f over it and put a little
17:06
pin in there to make a pinhole lens and
17:08
software gives a few options I'm not
17:11
entirely sure what all these are there's
17:12
obviously a clock frequency 22 MHz low
17:15
gain and with PFG no idea what that is
17:19
something something game programmable
17:20
Something game perhaps ver exposure
17:23
types I think focus is just like a
17:25
continuous grab until you tell it to
17:27
stop not entirely sure all these options
17:30
are obviously exposure time uh triggers
17:33
there ex external hardware trigger inut
17:35
you just trigger using a um thing on
17:37
screen so the resolution is 8176 by
17:40
6132 and you can actually bin those
17:42
where you combine multiple pixels to get
17:46
increased gain at the expense of lower
17:48
resolution down this is a 10sec exposure
17:51
obviously of the pin hole it's very uh
17:53
intensitive so we just stand still now
17:56
downloading it there's the uh exposure
17:59
so when it's
18:01
um there's a little status thing down
18:03
here so that tells you the um exposure
18:07
[Applause]
18:09
time it's this is just it
18:15
downloading um it is quite I'm seeing
18:18
quite a lot like smearing I think that I
18:20
don't know whether that's just due to
18:21
pixels overloading or something else I
18:24
mean yeah it's not it's not um out of
18:26
the question that there's something not
18:27
totally right about this camera
18:28
certainly was bodge wise on there um I
18:31
don't I'd imagine a camera like this
18:32
it's got a fairly narrow range of
18:34
intensities that it's happy with I'm not
18:36
going to spend a great deal of time on
18:38
this if you're interested in this camera
18:40
maybe for astronomy or something and
18:42
happy to sort of take the risk of it may
18:44
not be uh perfect I'll um I think I'll
18:47
stick this on eBay along with the
18:48
Illuminator I'll put a link down in the
18:50
description to the listing take your
18:52
chances to grab a bargain so for example
18:54
here we see this vertical streaking so
18:56
I'm not sure how normal that is this is
18:58
on fairly bright scene looking out the
19:02
window if I cut the exposure time down
19:04
on that it's now 1 second
19:07
exposure again most of the image
19:09
disappears again this is looks like it's
19:11
possibly over still overloading here go
19:14
that go down to say say quarter a
19:16
second so again I think there might be
19:19
some Auto gain control going on here um
19:21
this is with the PFG option let's try
19:23
turning that off and see what
19:25
happens so I'm not sure this is actually
19:27
more streaking or which just it's
19:29
cranked up the gain all the dis display
19:31
gray scale to show what um you know the
19:33
range of things that it's captured
19:36
there's one of one of 12 things in the
19:38
software there's um you can see of you
19:40
can't seem to read out the temperature
19:42
of the pelta cooler but you can set the
19:44
temperature and if you said it's a
19:46
different temperature you see the power
19:48
consumption jump up running the cooler
19:50
to get the temperature you requested but
19:52
I can't see anything anywhere that tells
19:54
you whether the cool is at the at the
19:56
temperature other than the power
19:57
consumption going down and there's no
19:59
temperature read out
20:03
here and just some yeah this is just
20:05
sort of very basic software I'm sure
20:07
there's like an API for more
20:09
sophisticated
20:10
applications but so if you know anything
20:12
more about these cameras please um stick
20:14
in the
20:15
comments um incidentally when I was
20:18
editing I didn't notice there was a bent
20:19
pin on the um CCD but I did fix that
20:22
before doing these tests and also
20:24
reactivated the um silica gel desicant
20:26
cuz I noticed it was uh I was getting
20:28
bit of condensation on the window but um
20:31
yeah so a couple of uh interesting but
20:34
maybe not particularly uh useful pieces
20:37
of Kit except for someone that's got a
20:38
very specific use so um I'll stick a
20:42
I'll stick these on eBay put a link in
20:44
the description and say hopefully
20:45
someone could actually make some uh good
20:47
use of these things
Example Output:
**Abstract:**

This video presents Part 2 of a teardown focusing on the optical components of a Fluidigm Polaris biotechnology instrument, specifically the multi-wavelength illuminator and the high-resolution CCD camera.

The Lumen Dynamics illuminator unit is examined in detail, revealing its construction using multiple high-power LEDs (430nm, 475nm, 520nm, 575nm, 630nm) combined via dichroic mirrors and filters. A square fiber optic rod is used to homogenize the light. A notable finding is the use of a phosphor-converted white LED filtered to achieve the 575nm output. The unit features simple TTL activation for each color, conduction cooling, and internal homogenization optics. Analysis of its EEPROM suggests extremely low operational runtime.

The camera module teardown showcases a 50 Megapixel ON Semiconductor KAF-50100 CCD sensor with micro-lenses, cooled by a multi-stage Peltier stack. The control electronics include an FPGA and a USB interface. Significant post-manufacturing modifications ("bodges") are observed on the camera's circuit boards. Basic functional testing using vendor software and a pinhole lens confirms image capture but reveals prominent vertical streaking artifacts, the cause of which remains uncertain (potential overload, readout artifact, or fault).

**Exploring the Fluidigm Polaris: A Detailed Look at its High-End Optics and Camera System**

* **0:00 High-End Optics:** The system utilizes heavy, high-quality lenses and mirrors for precise imaging, weighing around 4 kilos each.
* **0:49 Narrow Band Filters:** A filter wheel with five narrow band filters (488, 525, 570, 630, and 700 nm) ensures accurate fluorescence detection and rejection of excitation light. 
* **2:01 Customizable Illumination:** The Lumen Dynamics light source offers five individually controllable LED wavelengths (430, 475, 520, 575, 630 nm) with varying power outputs. The 575nm yellow LED is uniquely achieved using a white LED with filtering.
* **3:45 TTL Control:**  The light source is controlled via a simple TTL interface, enabling easy on/off switching for each LED color.
* **12:55 Sophisticated Camera:**  The system includes a 50-megapixel Kodak KAI-50100 CCD camera with a Peltier cooling system for reduced noise.
* **14:54 High-Speed Data Transfer:** The camera features dual analog-to-digital converters to manage the high data throughput of the 50-megapixel sensor, which is effectively two 25-megapixel sensors operating in parallel.
* **18:11 Possible Issues:** The video creator noted some potential issues with the camera, including image smearing. 
* **18:11 Limited Dynamic Range:** The camera's sensor has a limited dynamic range, making it potentially challenging to capture scenes with a wide range of brightness levels.
* **11:45 Low Runtime:** Internal data suggests the system has seen minimal usage, with only 20 minutes of recorded runtime for the green LED.
* **20:38 Availability on eBay:** Both the illuminator and camera are expected to be listed for sale on eBay.

Here is the real transcript. Please summarize it: 
00:00:04 Our first guest grabbed two six lb 12
00:00:04 half ounce trophies named Emmy to add to
00:00:06 his abundant collection. You can see why
00:00:08 he got them. Sunday nights on Last Week
00:00:10 Tonight with John Oliver, which you can
00:00:12 see on HBO and HBO Max. Please welcome
00:00:14 John Oliver.
00:00:16 [Applause]
00:00:29 [Music]
00:00:32 You are welcome, Mr. Oliver.
00:00:35 How are you?
00:00:36 Thank you, John. I I'm going to say
00:00:39 congratulations first. You know what?
00:00:40 There's a lot of funny people. No one
00:00:42 funnier than you. Really, honestly, I
00:00:44 mean it.
00:00:44 Where's this going? This feels like the
00:00:45 jab before the punch.
00:00:46 No, no, no. I just mean it. I mean it. I
00:00:49 I just I I believe that and I wanted to
00:00:51 say that to you.
00:00:52 Yeah. You're saying this cuz you know
00:00:53 how uncomfortable it makes me. That's
00:00:54 why you're saying it deep down, right?
00:00:56 If you knew I'd enjoyed a compliment
00:00:57 like this, you would keep it inside
00:00:59 where it belongs.
00:01:00 You're also, and I feel like people say
00:01:02 this to me a lot, and I'm not sure
00:01:04 whether to take it as a compliment or an
00:01:06 insult. You're much taller than you'd
00:01:09 guess. Like every time,
00:01:10 how how is the what way is that a
00:01:13 compliment? The thing is they all the
00:01:15 the only implication from that is you
00:01:18 seem like a small man.
00:01:20 And emotionally, I know that to still be
00:01:23 true. physically you seem like you don't
00:01:26 you there's extra parts of you that
00:01:28 aren't required considering the
00:01:30 personality it's having to carry around.
00:01:33 I think for you maybe it's because we
00:01:34 mostly see you sitting you know I don't
00:01:37 know I have an explanation for for
00:01:38 myself but uh for you I think that's
00:01:40 probably what it is.
00:01:41 Yeah. But do you think that's it that
00:01:42 people just think you stop there?
00:01:45 I mean don't understand that you're not
00:01:47 doing this from a standing position.
00:01:50 It's like the it's like the last page of
00:01:52 Mad Magazine. There's a fold and you're
00:01:55 shorter. But then when you and when you
00:01:56 come out it's like wa look at the
00:01:58 accordion.
00:01:58 That might be the next pointless
00:02:00 evolution of late night. Just those
00:02:02 standing desks.
00:02:05 You just have to stand for a whole
00:02:06 interview leaning on your desk. Maybe
00:02:08 you got a little treadmill underneath.
00:02:10 It would be healthier for sure. Yeah.
00:02:12 You uh so these you won two Emmys last
00:02:15 night. Congratulations. Thank you very
00:02:16 much. Yes.
00:02:23 One of the things that I think is
00:02:23 interesting is the uh you have to carry
00:02:25 them yourself part of it.
00:02:27 Yes.
00:02:27 I don't think people realize that it
00:02:29 doesn't matter who you are. You get they
00:02:31 hand them to you and you take them.
00:02:33 And you they they've not designed them
00:02:35 to be one in any numeral more than one.
00:02:38 Right? So you are immediately out of
00:02:40 luck. And if you don't have the upper
00:02:42 body strength to carry it around, you're
00:02:44 getting a workout that you didn't ask
00:02:45 for and can't necessarily handle. So, as
00:02:48 the evening goes on, my arms are getting
00:02:50 lower and lower until I'm basically just
00:02:52 stretching myself,
00:02:53 getting even taller to people's
00:02:55 surprise.
00:02:55 And they have a box that fits like
00:02:58 perfectly. It does,
00:03:00 right?
00:03:00 They have a box, but it is just like a
00:03:03 black It looks like the coffin for a
00:03:06 small pet. It does. you don't. And it's
00:03:08 even got like lining on the inside where
00:03:12 you know, Miss Fluffy
00:03:14 is for the rest of her life.
00:03:16 By the way, that was my childhood dog,
00:03:18 Fluffy. Yeah, it was. You really touched
00:03:20 the nerve there for real. Yeah.
00:03:23 Did Did you bury it in a leftover Emmy
00:03:25 box?
00:03:25 No. Um, Fluffy drowned in our pool, but
00:03:27 go ahead.
00:03:37 I I love the fact you could have gone
00:03:37 with any other version
00:03:40 of the truth and you knew the truth was
00:03:42 going to be funny.
00:03:43 Well, you know, the truth is the truth.
00:03:44 What are you going to do? I'm
00:03:45 I'm sorry for your loss.
00:03:46 It's okay.
00:03:47 It doesn't get easier over the years.
00:03:48 A long time. I know you lost a dog last
00:03:50 year and
00:03:52 I don't know why either of us are
00:03:53 laughing. It's genuinely funny.
00:03:54 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:55 Did Did Fluffy like to swim? Did
00:03:58 um
00:04:00 did she die doing what she loved just a
00:04:01 little too much?
00:04:03 Fluffy was a boy. Um but um yeah, Fluffy
00:04:06 did like to swim. Yeah, until Yeah. Then
00:04:09 she did. Then he did it. Whatever it
00:04:11 was.
00:04:12 We're not sure. We never really It was a
00:04:13 different time. We didn't ask Fluffy
00:04:15 what his gender was.
00:04:16 At least At least Fluffy is not
00:04:19 forgotten. And we're honoring his death
00:04:21 in the most appropriate way. Laughing
00:04:23 through the pain.
00:04:24 That's right.
00:04:26 I don't know how else to cope with
00:04:27 something sad.
00:04:28 So, you've got now these two boxes and
00:04:31 you have to take them on the plane or
00:04:32 you check them.
00:04:33 Yeah, you No, you got to Well, you you
00:04:34 can take I have in the past taken them
00:04:36 on the plane and that's not great cuz
00:04:38 it's a bulky
00:04:40 item. Yeah.
00:04:40 You've either got to put it through TSA.
00:04:42 It's like, oh, what's in there? And
00:04:44 Emmy, oh, look at this piece of
00:04:46 anything. And then what's amazing me
00:04:48 even allowed those things are heavy
00:04:50 metal and sharp.
00:04:52 They are. So, it seems like you could
00:04:54 bludgeon a pilot to death with those
00:04:56 things.
00:04:56 You could you I do think you can hijack
00:05:00 a plane in modern America if you've won
00:05:02 an Emmy
00:05:04 if and only if
00:05:05 that's the only I could see Jean Smart
00:05:08 taking control of the
00:05:09 Jean Smart has got actually going to
00:05:11 Seattle written all over.
00:05:13 You um last night were one of the few
00:05:17 winners who cared about boys and girls.
00:05:19 Yes.
00:05:20 Who um
00:05:20 It's a shame, but it's true. Nate
00:05:22 Margetti had a thing where if he went
00:05:24 over 45 seconds, he deducted $1,000 from
00:05:27 the donation he made to the Boys and
00:05:28 Girls Club. And if you went under, he
00:05:30 added $1,000 for second.
00:05:32 You came in, you had the I believe the
00:05:34 quickest speech of all.
00:05:35 19 seconds.
00:05:36 Good.
00:05:37 Which left $26,000?
00:05:40 Yeah.
00:05:41 For the children.
00:05:42 I'll be my my motivating factor was just
00:05:46 to cost Nate Bagotsi money. Personally,
00:05:49 whether or not it went to a good cause,
00:05:50 that was enough for me. fact it went to
00:05:52 the boys and girls of America is great
00:05:53 but again it would have been fine if it
00:05:55 was just set fire to
00:05:58 and you got him back on track but then
00:06:00 others took him way off track and they
00:06:02 went way under the amount they were
00:06:04 supposed to
00:06:05 I thought that I was in a good position
00:06:07 to do I speak pretty fast on the show
00:06:09 anyway so I thought okay yeah people
00:06:12 generally say I'm a fast talker like
00:06:13 they say you're taller than I thought
00:06:15 they say you took you talk faster than
00:06:17 other people do neither of those things
00:06:19 are a compliment
00:06:21 I think that one's okay. That's not too
00:06:23 bad. Yeah, you talk fast and you did it.
00:06:25 People will say like, "You're the only
00:06:27 thing that I don't watch on one and a
00:06:28 half speed."
00:06:29 Oh, that's nice.
00:06:30 Yeah, cuz you can't you can't do it. It
00:06:32 becomes unintelligible. I My my heart
00:06:34 rate is one and a half speed
00:06:35 and it's not even cocaine. I can't say
00:06:37 that enough.
00:06:39 It is not cocaine. I'm about to get on a
00:06:40 plane. I'm not carrying cocaine.
00:06:43 Were you in your seat when Steven
00:06:45 Colbear won the Emmy?
00:06:47 No, I was backstage. I was backstage so
00:06:49 I saw it. So I was obviously very
00:06:51 Did you get to see it?
00:06:52 I I got to see it because I stopped the
00:06:54 interview so I could I could watch him
00:06:56 watch him get up and speak. So it was
00:06:57 great. I was really I think we were all
00:06:59 very happy.
00:07:00 He gave a great speech.
00:07:01 He did. I will say this. It was the I
00:07:03 know we wanted him to win.
00:07:04 Yes.
00:07:05 The right thing to happen was for him to
00:07:07 win. The funniest thing to happen would
00:07:09 have been if you had won.
00:07:12 You're right.
00:07:13 I Most of me wanted him to win. A part
00:07:18 of me, the part of me that I like more,
00:07:21 just wanted to see your face go, "Oh,
00:07:23 no.
00:07:25 Not like this."
00:07:26 You're absolutely right. And I'm going
00:07:28 to tell you, I'm going to add a little
00:07:29 something to this. So, the um one of the
00:07:32 drivers for one of our writers was not
00:07:35 watching the show and went on chat dpt
00:07:38 or something said, "Who won the talk
00:07:39 show Emmy?" And for whatever reason, it
00:07:41 said that we won and they texted it to
00:07:43 us. I'm like, "Well, this is not this is
00:07:46 not right." obviously. And then I was
00:07:48 like, "Oh no, do they know something?"
00:07:50 And I was like, "Oh, if we win, this is
00:07:53 a disaster."
00:07:53 You would have been so He had his whole
00:07:56 staff there with him. You'd have been
00:07:58 booed onto the stage.
00:07:59 Maybe stoned.
00:08:00 Just people. Why? Why' you have to ruin
00:08:03 everything? You can see why a part of me
00:08:05 that as I'm saying it is now getting
00:08:07 bigger did kind of want that to happen.
00:08:10 The first ever cutaway to someone say,
00:08:12 "And the winner is Jimmy Kimmel." No
00:08:15 way.
00:08:18 Even when I win, I lose.
00:08:19 Yeah, that's what it would have been
00:08:21 perfect.
00:08:22 John Oliver is with us. Watch last week
00:08:24 with John Oliver.
00:08:25 Sunday nights. We'll be right back. Flew
00:08:27 in just in time to come here. I haven't
00:08:29 factored in the time difference. And I
00:08:31 am about to pass out. And that has more
00:08:34 than a little to do with the fact that
00:08:36 GMO just gave me tequila. So
00:08:39 yes. Yes. Exactly. Yeah.
00:08:42 We are back with John. Don,
00:08:45 I know you've uh
00:08:47 you're flying right out after the show
00:08:49 tonight.
00:08:49 Yeah, I'm going I'm going to the airport
00:08:50 after this.
00:08:51 You're exhausted.
00:08:52 The red. Yeah, cuz I came I came in
00:08:54 yesterday morning. I was up all night
00:08:55 with my kids. So, yeah. Hence that was
00:08:57 not a great move to talk to GMO first,
00:09:01 then do the other interview.
00:09:03 Did your kids watch last night?
00:09:04 Yeah, they they watched it this morning.
00:09:06 They were so excited. I said to them on
00:09:08 the way over here, I said, "I'm going to
00:09:09 go and see Jimmy Kimmel. They're going
00:09:10 to come home." And my my seven-year-old
00:09:13 said, "As the guy from Taxi Cab TV,
00:09:16 they are so it's in New York in cabs.
00:09:20 There's just there's clips of Jimmy."
00:09:22 So, they see it all the time. And they
00:09:24 were much more impressed with the fact I
00:09:26 was going to come see the taxi guy than
00:09:28 anything I explained to them happened
00:09:29 yesterday.
00:09:31 That makes up for the fact that every
00:09:33 cab driver in New York hates me and
00:09:34 wants to
00:09:35 Oh, that's true. Oh, wow. I didn't think
00:09:37 that is definitely true.
00:09:39 Oh, absolutely. Because they can't. They
00:09:41 have to reach back to hit mute.
00:09:42 I know they do that and then my kids
00:09:44 turn it back on say no, no, no. I want
00:09:46 to hear what this guy had to say and to
00:09:47 see the next steak advert.
00:09:50 Now that you're a little bit tired, I'm
00:09:51 going to ask you, can you tell me um
00:09:54 what the difference between HBO and HBO
00:09:56 Max is?
00:09:57 Uh, no one can either
00:10:00 e either tired or having just woken up
00:10:02 after a 14-hour sleep. It can't be done
00:10:04 because it's so ephemeral. You can think
00:10:07 you know what it is and it will have
00:10:08 shifted to the thing you thought it
00:10:10 wasn't. So it it's really it's not so
00:10:12 much a company as more of a state of
00:10:14 mind, a mood,
00:10:16 a color, like a mood ring.
00:10:20 Don't get stuck on labels. It's more,
00:10:22 you know, in a state of being.
00:10:23 It was Max for a while. It was Max for a
00:10:25 while that we're headed in that
00:10:27 direction permanently, but then
00:10:29 that's right. Then it was then it was
00:10:30 Max. Now it's HBO Max. And I really
00:10:32 would not make the mistake of thinking
00:10:34 they're done.
00:10:34 Right. Because when I'm given the
00:10:35 information to plug the show, I'm told
00:10:38 HBO and HBO Max and then I go home to my
00:10:40 TV and I only see one of those things.
00:10:43 So, I don't know what to think anymore.
00:10:44 That's a that's a good way to run a
00:10:46 company, right?
00:10:46 It's a great way to run a company.
00:10:48 That's what I thought.
00:10:48 It's certainly how Coca-Cola has done it
00:10:50 for years.
00:10:53 You're doing uh you have a residency
00:10:55 with Seth Meyers.
00:10:56 Yes.
00:10:57 Um who's very difficult, a very
00:10:59 difficult person in general. Correct.
00:11:01 At the Beacon Theater in New York. How
00:11:03 often do you guys do that?
00:11:04 We do that once a month. It's once a
00:11:05 month. It's the only way we kind of get
00:11:07 to see each other as well. So,
00:11:08 that's a fun way to see each other. And
00:11:09 then you do besides you each do a set
00:11:12 and then you have a Q&A together at the
00:11:14 end.
00:11:14 Yeah. Yeah. We should like do about an
00:11:16 hour of standup and then uh then we
00:11:18 answer whatever people want to ask up to
00:11:20 a point.
00:11:22 You are doing a solo show on New Year's
00:11:25 Eve in Philadelphia this year.
00:11:27 Yeah.
00:11:28 Why are you doing that?
00:11:30 Because I hate myself. because drunks in
00:11:34 Philadelphia seemed like a heck of a way
00:11:36 to ring in the new year.
00:11:37 There's a I really really like a certain
00:11:40 kind of Philadelphia drunk.
00:11:42 You like that?
00:11:42 Yeah. There's a kind of there's a
00:11:44 there's a consistency to the
00:11:45 Philadelphia drunk. They've committed to
00:11:47 the bit
00:11:49 that you see there's someone's clap
00:11:51 clapped. It's very impressive.
00:11:52 They're not clapping. They're smacking
00:11:53 each other.
00:11:56 It's a live fight. How you supposed to
00:11:59 respond when the city of Philadelphia is
00:12:01 mentioned? It's great. I did I did DC
00:12:03 last year. I'm going to do Philly this
00:12:04 year. Who knows where it'll be next
00:12:06 year. If I make it out of Philly Live.
00:12:08 Yeah. If you make it out of Philly Live,
00:12:09 which is not a given.
00:12:10 It's no again. That's what I think it's
00:12:12 appreciation for life that you get as
00:12:13 you leave Philly. It's
00:12:14 I see.
00:12:15 I live to live live another day.
00:12:16 You're like the baby new year all over
00:12:18 again.
00:12:19 What better way to start a new year than
00:12:21 feeling grateful that the people of
00:12:23 Philadelphia didn't kill you. And as a
00:12:25 as a British person, you know,
00:12:27 historically that is not a guarantee.
00:12:30 That is the city that got tested when
00:12:32 they heard this voice. John Oliver.
00:12:35 Everybody last week tonight, Sundays on
00:12:38 HBO and HBO Max. We'll be back with
00:12:41 Frank Miller. GMO, do you know how many
00:12:43 subscribers we have on YouTube now?
00:12:45 Uh 20 million.
00:12:47 That's right. Yeah, that's why we're
00:12:48 wearing these glasses. Thanks for being
00:12:50 a subscriber. If you're not, help us get

*Abstract:*

This satirical news commentary segment critiques recent controversial actions and statements by Donald Trump and his political allies. The host highlights Trump's UK visit, including a protest involving a large photo of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein and the related firing of a UK ambassador who planned the trip. The segment then details Trump's confrontational behavior with an Australian reporter, his boasting about a $200 million ballroom, and a seemingly frivolous $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, which is satirized for its exaggerated claims and bizarre inclusions from his media appearances. Further critiques target alleged attempts by the Trump administration to rewrite history by removing slavery-related exhibits from national parks and deploying the National Guard to low-crime areas. The commentary also features clips of right-wing figures like JD Vance and Carl Higgby promoting divisive "us vs. them" narratives and downplaying far-right extremism, contrasting it with a removed DOJ study on domestic terror. The segment culminates in a contentious Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Cash Patel, who is criticized for his evasiveness regarding the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, leading to a powerful rebuke from Senator Cory Booker, followed by a satirical advertisement mocking the situation.

Thanks Mike. Ooof! - with the level of bodgery going on around 15:48 I think shame would have made me do a board re spin, out of my own pocket if I had to.

The green LED looks different from the others and uses phosphor conversion because of the "green gap" problem where green InGaN emitters suffer efficiency droop at high currents. Phosphide based emitters don't start becoming efficient until around 600nm so also can't be used for high power green emitters. See the paper and plot by Matthias Auf der Maur in his 2015 paper on alloy fluctuations in InGaN as the cause of reduced external quantum efficiency at longer (green) wavelengths.

Yes, but may need a shutter to avoid light during readout

Narrowband filters we use in Astronomy (Astrophotography) are sided- they work best passing light in one direction so I guess the arrows on the filter frames indicate which way round to install them in the filter wheel.

The smearing on the image could be due to the fact that you don't use a shutter, so you see brighter stripes under bright areas of the image as you still iluminate these pixels while the sensor data ist shifted out towards the top. I experienced this effect back at university with a LN-Cooled CCD for Spectroscopy. The stripes disapeared as soon as you used the shutter instead of disabling it in the open position (but fokussing at 100ms integration time and continuous readout with a focal plane shutter isn't much fun).

The red LED reminds me of one from Roithner Lasertechnik. I have a Symbol 2D scanner which uses two very bright LEDs from that company, one red and one red-orange. The red-orange is behind a lens which focuses it into an extremely narrow beam.

The pricing on that sensor is about right, I looked in to these many years ago when they were still in production since it's the only large sensor you could actually buy. Really cool to see one in the wild.

Maybe the camera should not be illuminated during readout.
From the datasheet of the sensor (Onsemi): saturation 40300 electrons, read noise 12.5 electrons per pixel @ 18MHz (quite bad). quantum efficiency 62% (if it has micro lenses), frame rate 1 Hz. lateral overflow drain to prevent blooming protects against 800x (factor increases linearly with exposure time) saturation exposure (32e6 electrons per pixel at 4ms exposure time), microlens has +/- 20 degree acceptance angle
i guess it would be good for astrophotography

0:00
so I've stripped all the bits of the
0:01
optical system so basically we've got
0:03
the uh the camera
0:05
itself which is mounted on this uh very
0:09
complex
0:10
adjustment thing which obviously to set
0:13
you the various tilt and uh alignment
0:15
stuff then there's two of these massive
0:18
lenses I've taken one of these apart I
0:20
think there's something like about eight
0:22
or nine Optical elements in here these
0:25
don't seem to do a great deal in terms
0:26
of electr magnification they're obiously
0:28
just about getting the image to where it
0:29
uh where it needs to be just so that
0:33
goes like that then this Optical block I
0:36
originally thought this was made of some
0:37
s crazy heavy material but it's just
0:39
really the sum of all these Optical bits
0:41
are just ridiculously heavy those lenses
0:43
are about 4 kilos each and then there's
0:45
this very heavy very solid um piece that
0:47
goes in the middle and this is so this
0:49
is the filter wheel assembly with a
0:51
hilariously oversized steper
0:53
motor driving this wheel with these very
0:57
large narrow band filters so we've got
1:00
various different shades of uh
1:03
filters there five Al together that
1:06
one's actually just showing up a silver
1:07
that's actually a a red but fairly low
1:10
transmission orangey red blue green
1:15
there's an excess cover on this side so
1:16
the filters can be accessed and changed
1:19
without taking anything else apart even
1:21
this is like ridiculous it's like solid
1:23
aluminium this is just basically a cover
1:25
the actual wavelengths of these are um
1:27
488 525 570 630 and 700 NM not sure what
1:32
the suffix on that perhaps that's the uh
1:34
the width of the spectral line say these
1:37
are very narrow band filters most of
1:39
them are you very little light through
1:41
so it's still very tight narrow band to
1:43
match the um fluoresence of the dies
1:45
they're using in the biochemical process
1:48
and obviously to reject the light that's
1:49
being fired at it from that Illuminator
1:51
box and then there's a there's a second
1:53
one of these lenses then the actual sort
1:55
of samples below that so uh very serious
1:58
amount of very uh chunky heavy Optics
2:01
okay let's take a look at this light
2:02
source made by company Lumen Dynamics
2:04
who are now part of
2:06
excelitas self-contained unit power
2:08
connector USB and this which one of the
2:11
Cable Bundle said was a TTL interface
2:14
USB wasn't used in uh the fluid
2:17
application output here and I think this
2:19
is an input for um light feedback I
2:21
don't if it's regulated or just a measur
2:23
measurement facility and the uh fiber
2:27
assembly
2:29
Square Inlet there and then there's two
2:32
outputs which have uh lens assemblies
2:35
and this small one which goes back into
2:37
that small Port just Loops out of here
2:40
straight back in So on this side we've
2:42
got the electronics which look pretty
2:44
straightforward we've got a bit of power
2:45
supply stuff over here and we've got
2:48
separate drivers for each wavelength now
2:50
interesting this is clearly been very
2:52
specifically made for this application
2:54
you I was half expecting like say some
2:56
generic drivers that could be used for a
2:58
number of different things but actually
3:00
literally specified the exact wavelength
3:02
on the PCB there is provision here for
3:04
385 NM which isn't populated but this is
3:07
clearly been designed very specifically
3:09
so these four drivers look the same but
3:10
then there's two higher power ones for
3:12
575 and
3:14
520 a slightly bigger heat sink on this
3:16
575 section there a p 24 which is
3:20
providing USB interface USB isolator the
3:23
USB interface just presents as a comport
3:26
I did have a quick look but I didn't
3:27
actually get anything sensible um I did
3:29
dump the Pi code out and there's a few
3:31
you a few sort of commands that you
3:32
could see in text but I didn't actually
3:34
manage to get it working properly I
3:36
found some software for related version
3:38
but it didn't seem to want to talk to it
3:39
but um I say that wasn't used for the
3:41
original application it might be quite
3:42
interesting to get try and get the Run
3:44
hours count out of it and the TTL
3:46
interface looks fairly straightforward
3:48
we've got positions for six opto
3:50
isolators but only five five are
3:52
installed so that corresponds with the
3:54
unused thing so I think this hopefully
3:56
should be as simple as just providing a
3:57
ttrl signal for each color to uh enable
4:00
it a big heat sink here which is there I
4:03
think there's like a big S of metal
4:04
plate through the middle of this that
4:05
all the leads are mounted on the other
4:07
side so this is heat sinking it with a
4:09
air flow from a uh just a fan in here
4:13
obviously don't have the air flow
4:14
anywhere near the Optics so conduction
4:17
cool through to this plate that's then
4:18
uh air cooled got some pots which are
4:21
presumably power
4:22
adjustments okay let's take a look at
4:24
the other side which is uh much more
4:27
interesting see we've got some uh very
4:31
uh neatly Twisted cable assemblies there
4:35
a bunch of leads so we've got one here
4:37
475 up here 430 NM 630 575 and 520
4:44
filters and dcro mirrors a quick way to
4:48
see what's white is if we just shine
4:49
some white light through
4:51
here not sure how it is is to see on the
4:54
camera but shining white light we do
4:55
actually get a bit of red a bit of blue
4:57
some yellow here so the obstacle path
5:00
575 it goes sort of here bounces off
5:03
this mirror and goes out the 520 goes
5:07
sort of down here across here and up
5:09
there 630 goes basically straight
5:13
through
5:15
430 goes across there down there along
5:17
there and the 475 goes down here and
5:20
left this is the light sensing thing
5:22
think here there's just a um I think
5:24
there a photo diode or other sensor
5:26
haven't actually taken that off and
5:28
everything's fixed down to this chunk of
5:31
aluminium which acts as the heat
5:32
spreader that then conducts the heat to
5:33
the back side for the heat
5:35
sink and the actual lead packages all
5:38
look fairly similar except for this one
5:41
on the 575 which looks quite a bit more
5:44
substantial big spay
5:46
Terminals and the interface for this
5:48
turned out to be extremely simple it's
5:50
literally a 5V TTL level to enable each
5:54
color doesn't seem to be any tensity
5:56
control but there are some additional
5:58
pins on that connector that weren't used
5:59
in the through time thing so maybe
6:01
there's some extra lines that control
6:02
that I couldn't find any data on this uh
6:05
unit and the um their current product
6:07
range is quite significantly different
6:09
so we've got the uh blue these
6:13
might may well be saturating the camera
6:16
so they might look a bit weird so that's
6:17
the 430
6:18
blue the 575
6:24
yellow uh
6:26
475 light blue
6:29
the uh 520
6:31
green and the uh 630 red now one
6:36
interesting thing I noticed for the
6:39
575 it's actually it's actually using a
6:42
white lead and then filtering it rather
6:44
than using all the other ones are using
6:46
leads which are the fundamental colors
6:47
but uh this is actually doing white and
6:50
it's a combination of this filter and
6:52
the dichroic mirrors that are turning to
6:55
Yellow if we take the filter out and a
6:57
lot of the a lot of the um blue content
7:00
is going this way the red is going
7:02
straight through these two mirrors so
7:05
this is clearly not reflecting much of
7:08
that so we end up with the yellow coming
7:10
out of uh out of there which is a fairly
7:14
light yellow color which you don't
7:16
really see from high intensity leads so
7:19
that's clearly why they've used the
7:20
white to uh do this power consumption of
7:23
the white is pretty high so going up to
7:25
about 2 and 1 half amps on that color
7:27
whereas most of the other colors are
7:28
only drawing half an amp or so at 24
7:30
volts the uh the green is up to about
7:32
1.2 but say this thing is uh much
7:35
brighter and if you actually run all the
7:38
colors at the same time you get a fairly
7:41
reasonable um looking white coming out
7:43
of it and one thing you might just be
7:45
out to notice is there is some sort
7:46
color banding around here that's not
7:49
getting uh everything s completely
7:51
concentric and I think that's where this
7:53
fiber optic thing comes
7:58
in I'll
8:00
get a couple of Fairly accurately shaped
8:04
very sort of uniform color and looking
8:06
at What's um inside here we've basically
8:09
just got this Square Rod so this is
8:12
clearly yeah the lights just bouncing
8:13
off all the all the various sides to um
8:16
get a nice uniform illumination uh this
8:19
back bit looks like it's all potted so
8:21
nothing I really do to get in there I
8:24
think this is fiber so I have come
8:26
across um cables like this which are
8:27
liquid fill but just looking through the
8:30
end of this it's probably a bit hard to
8:31
see it does look like there fiber ends
8:34
going going on there and so there's this
8:36
feedback thing which is just obviously
8:39
compensating for the any light losses
8:41
through here to get an accurate
8:43
representation of uh the light that's
8:45
been launched out of these two
8:47
fibers and you see uh
8:49
these have got this sort of trapezium
8:54
shape light guides again it's like a
8:56
sort of acrylic or glass light guide
9:00
guess projected just to make the right
9:03
rectangular
9:04
shape and look at this Center assembly
9:07
um the light output doesn't uh change
9:10
whether you feed this in or not so it's
9:11
clear not doing any internal Clos Loop
9:14
control obviously there may well be some
9:16
facility for it to do that but it's not
9:17
being used in this
9:19
application and so this output just
9:21
produces a voltage on the uh outle
9:24
connector proportional to the amount of
9:26
light that's present so there's a little
9:28
diffuser in the back there
9:30
and then there's just some kind of uh
9:33
Optical sensor looks like a
9:35
chip looking at the lead it's a very
9:37
small package on the PCB with this lens
9:40
assembly over the top and these look
9:43
like they're actually on a copper
9:44
Metalized PCB for maximum thermal
9:47
performance and yeah it's a very small
9:49
package looks like it's a ceramic
9:51
package and there's a thermister there
9:53
for temperature monitoring this is the
9:56
475 blue one this is the 520 need to
9:59
Green which is uh rather different OB
10:02
it's a much bigger D with lots of bond
10:04
wise but also this looks like it's using
10:05
a phosphor if I shine a blue light at it
10:08
lights up green so this is actually a
10:10
phosphor conversion green lead which
10:12
I've I've come across before they want
10:15
that specific wavelength so they may be
10:17
easier to tune a phosphor than tune the
10:20
um semiconductor material to get the uh
10:23
right right wavelength from the lead
10:24
directly uh red 630 similar size to the
10:28
blue one or does seem to have a uh a
10:31
lens on top of it there is a sort of red
10:33
coloring to
10:35
the die but that doesn't appear to be
10:38
fluorescent as far as I can
10:39
tell and the white one again a little
10:41
bit different sort of much higher
10:43
current
10:46
connectors a makeer name on that
10:48
connector flot light not sure if that's
10:52
the connector or the lead
10:54
itself and obviously with the phosphor
10:56
and I'd imagine that phosphor may well
10:58
be tuned to get the maximum to the uh 5
11:01
cenm and actually this white one looks
11:04
like a St fairly standard product I just
11:06
found it in Mouse made by luminous
11:09
devices in fact actually I think all
11:11
these are based on various luminous
11:13
devices modules and they're you take
11:17
looks like they taking the nearest
11:18
wavelength and then just using these
11:19
filters to clean it up to get a precise
11:22
uh spectral line out of it so quite a
11:25
nice neat and um extreme
11:30
bright light source uh sure I've got any
11:33
particular use for it so I think this
11:35
might end up on
11:36
eBay but uh very pretty to look out and
11:40
without the uh risk of burning your eyes
11:43
out like you do with lasers so I thought
11:45
it would be interesting to try and
11:46
figure out the runtime of this things
11:48
like this we usually keep some sort
11:49
record of runtime cuz leads degrade over
11:51
time I couldn't get any software to work
11:52
through the USB face but then had a
11:54
thought probably going to be writing the
11:55
runtime periodically to the e s prom so
11:58
I just just scope up that and noticed it
12:00
was doing right every 5 minutes so I
12:02
just ran it for a while periodically
12:04
reading the E squ I just held the pick
12:05
in in reset and um put clip over to read
12:07
the square prom and found it was writing
12:10
one location per color every 5 minutes
12:12
so if one color was on it would write
12:14
that location every 5 minutes and just
12:16
increment it by one so after doing a few
12:18
tests with different colors of different
12:19
time periods it looked extremely
12:21
straightforward it's like a four bite
12:22
count for each color looking at the
12:24
original data that was in it all the
12:26
colors apart from Green were reading
12:28
zero and the green was reading four
12:30
indicating a total 20 minutes run time
12:32
ever if it was turned on run for a short
12:34
time then turned off that might not have
12:36
been counted but even so indicates this
12:37
thing wasn't used a great deal the whole
12:40
s process of doing a run can be several
12:42
hours but it'll only be doing probably
12:43
the Imaging at the end of that so you
12:46
wouldn't expect to be running for a long
12:47
time but say a single color for 20
12:50
minutes over its whole lifetime does
12:52
seem a little bit on the low side okay
12:55
let's look at the camera un fortunately
12:57
I managed to not record any sound when I
12:58
did this it's also a couple of months
13:00
ago so there's going to be a few details
13:02
that I've forgotten so I'm just going to
13:04
dub this over the original footage so um
13:07
take the lid off see this massive great
13:10
heat sink so this is a pel cool camera
13:12
we've got this blower fan producing a
13:14
fair amount of air flow through
13:16
it the connector here there's the ccds
13:19
mounted on the board on the
13:24
right this unplugs so we've got a bit of
13:27
power supply stuff on here
13:29
USB interface I think that's the Cyprus
13:32
microcontroller High speeded USB
13:34
interface there's a zyink spon fpga some
13:40
RAM and there's a couple of ATD
13:42
converters can't quite read what those
13:45
those are but anal
13:47
devices um little bit of bodgery around
13:51
here extra decoupling obviously they
13:53
have having some noise issues this is
13:55
around the ram chip quite a lot of extra
13:57
capacitors been added there
13:59
uh there's a couple of amplifiers prior
14:01
to the HD converter buffers or Andor
14:05
amplifiers taking the CCD
14:08
signal um bit more power spy stuff here
14:11
this is probably all to do with
14:12
generating the various CCD bias voltages
14:14
they uh need quite a lot of exotic
14:18
voltages next board down is just a
14:20
shield and an interconnect
14:24
boardly shielding the power supply stuff
14:26
from some the more sensitive an log
14:28
stuff
14:31
and this is the bottom board which is
14:32
just all power supply
14:34
stuff as you can see tons of capacitors
14:37
or Transformer in
14:42
there and this is the CCD which is a uh
14:47
very impressive thing this is a kf50 100
14:50
originally by true sense then codec
14:53
there ON
14:54
Semiconductor it's 50 megapixels uh the
14:58
only price I could find was this one
15:00
5,000 bucks and the architecture you can
15:03
see there actually two separate halves
15:04
which explains the Dual AZ converters
15:06
and two amplifiers it's literally split
15:08
down the middle and duplicated so it's
15:10
outputting two streams in parallel just
15:13
to keep the bandwidth sensible and it's
15:15
got this amazing um diffraction effects
15:18
it's got micro lenses over the pixel so
15:20
there's there's a bit more Optics going
15:22
on than on a normal
15:25
sensor few more bodges on the CCD board
15:28
including this wire which isn't really
15:29
tacked down very well which is a bit uh
15:32
bit of a mess quite a few bits around
15:34
this board where they've uh tacked
15:36
various bits on which is not super
15:38
impressive looks like CCD drivers on the
15:40
left with those 3 ohm um damping
15:43
resistors on the
15:47
output get a few more little bodges
15:50
around here some of
15:52
the and there's this separator the
15:54
silica gel to keep the moisture down but
15:56
there's this separator that actually
15:58
appears to be cut from piece of
15:59
antistatic
16:04
bag and this sort of thermal block on
16:06
top of this stack of three pel Cola
16:12
modules so as with any Stacks they get
16:16
um larger as they go back towards the
16:18
heat sink because each P's got to not
16:20
only take the heat from the previous but
16:21
also the waste heat which is quite
16:27
significant you see a little temperature
16:29
sensor here that copper block which
16:32
makes contact with the back of the
16:37
CCD and this's the back of the
16:40
pelas this then contacts the heat sink
16:44
on the uh rear there a few thermal pads
16:46
as well for some of the other power
16:47
components on this
16:51
PCB okay I've connected this uh camera
16:54
up I found some drivers on the disc that
16:56
seem to work under Windows 7 couldn't
16:58
get to install under Windows 11 though
17:01
um in the absence of any sort of lens or
17:03
being bothered to the proper amount I've
17:04
just put some f over it and put a little
17:06
pin in there to make a pinhole lens and
17:08
software gives a few options I'm not
17:11
entirely sure what all these are there's
17:12
obviously a clock frequency 22 MHz low
17:15
gain and with PFG no idea what that is
17:19
something something game programmable
17:20
Something game perhaps ver exposure
17:23
types I think focus is just like a
17:25
continuous grab until you tell it to
17:27
stop not entirely sure all these options
17:30
are obviously exposure time uh triggers
17:33
there ex external hardware trigger inut
17:35
you just trigger using a um thing on
17:37
screen so the resolution is 8176 by
17:40
6132 and you can actually bin those
17:42
where you combine multiple pixels to get
17:46
increased gain at the expense of lower
17:48
resolution down this is a 10sec exposure
17:51
obviously of the pin hole it's very uh
17:53
intensitive so we just stand still now
17:56
downloading it there's the uh exposure
17:59
so when it's
18:01
um there's a little status thing down
18:03
here so that tells you the um exposure
18:07
[Applause]
18:09
time it's this is just it
18:15
downloading um it is quite I'm seeing
18:18
quite a lot like smearing I think that I
18:20
don't know whether that's just due to
18:21
pixels overloading or something else I
18:24
mean yeah it's not it's not um out of
18:26
the question that there's something not
18:27
totally right about this camera
18:28
certainly was bodge wise on there um I
18:31
don't I'd imagine a camera like this
18:32
it's got a fairly narrow range of
18:34
intensities that it's happy with I'm not
18:36
going to spend a great deal of time on
18:38
this if you're interested in this camera
18:40
maybe for astronomy or something and
18:42
happy to sort of take the risk of it may
18:44
not be uh perfect I'll um I think I'll
18:47
stick this on eBay along with the
18:48
Illuminator I'll put a link down in the
18:50
description to the listing take your
18:52
chances to grab a bargain so for example
18:54
here we see this vertical streaking so
18:56
I'm not sure how normal that is this is
18:58
on fairly bright scene looking out the
19:02
window if I cut the exposure time down
19:04
on that it's now 1 second
19:07
exposure again most of the image
19:09
disappears again this is looks like it's
19:11
possibly over still overloading here go
19:14
that go down to say say quarter a
19:16
second so again I think there might be
19:19
some Auto gain control going on here um
19:21
this is with the PFG option let's try
19:23
turning that off and see what
19:25
happens so I'm not sure this is actually
19:27
more streaking or which just it's
19:29
cranked up the gain all the dis display
19:31
gray scale to show what um you know the
19:33
range of things that it's captured
19:36
there's one of one of 12 things in the
19:38
software there's um you can see of you
19:40
can't seem to read out the temperature
19:42
of the pelta cooler but you can set the
19:44
temperature and if you said it's a
19:46
different temperature you see the power
19:48
consumption jump up running the cooler
19:50
to get the temperature you requested but
19:52
I can't see anything anywhere that tells
19:54
you whether the cool is at the at the
19:56
temperature other than the power
19:57
consumption going down and there's no
19:59
temperature read out
20:03
here and just some yeah this is just
20:05
sort of very basic software I'm sure
20:07
there's like an API for more
20:09
sophisticated
20:10
applications but so if you know anything
20:12
more about these cameras please um stick
20:14
in the
20:15
comments um incidentally when I was
20:18
editing I didn't notice there was a bent
20:19
pin on the um CCD but I did fix that
20:22
before doing these tests and also
20:24
reactivated the um silica gel desicant
20:26
cuz I noticed it was uh I was getting
20:28
bit of condensation on the window but um
20:31
yeah so a couple of uh interesting but
20:34
maybe not particularly uh useful pieces
20:37
of Kit except for someone that's got a
20:38
very specific use so um I'll stick a
20:42
I'll stick these on eBay put a link in
20:44
the description and say hopefully
20:45
someone could actually make some uh good
20:47
use of these things
Example Output:
**Abstract:**

This video presents Part 2 of a teardown focusing on the optical components of a Fluidigm Polaris biotechnology instrument, specifically the multi-wavelength illuminator and the high-resolution CCD camera.

The Lumen Dynamics illuminator unit is examined in detail, revealing its construction using multiple high-power LEDs (430nm, 475nm, 520nm, 575nm, 630nm) combined via dichroic mirrors and filters. A square fiber optic rod is used to homogenize the light. A notable finding is the use of a phosphor-converted white LED filtered to achieve the 575nm output. The unit features simple TTL activation for each color, conduction cooling, and internal homogenization optics. Analysis of its EEPROM suggests extremely low operational runtime.

The camera module teardown showcases a 50 Megapixel ON Semiconductor KAF-50100 CCD sensor with micro-lenses, cooled by a multi-stage Peltier stack. The control electronics include an FPGA and a USB interface. Significant post-manufacturing modifications ("bodges") are observed on the camera's circuit boards. Basic functional testing using vendor software and a pinhole lens confirms image capture but reveals prominent vertical streaking artifacts, the cause of which remains uncertain (potential overload, readout artifact, or fault).

**Exploring the Fluidigm Polaris: A Detailed Look at its High-End Optics and Camera System**

* **0:00 High-End Optics:** The system utilizes heavy, high-quality lenses and mirrors for precise imaging, weighing around 4 kilos each.
* **0:49 Narrow Band Filters:** A filter wheel with five narrow band filters (488, 525, 570, 630, and 700 nm) ensures accurate fluorescence detection and rejection of excitation light. 
* **2:01 Customizable Illumination:** The Lumen Dynamics light source offers five individually controllable LED wavelengths (430, 475, 520, 575, 630 nm) with varying power outputs. The 575nm yellow LED is uniquely achieved using a white LED with filtering.
* **3:45 TTL Control:**  The light source is controlled via a simple TTL interface, enabling easy on/off switching for each LED color.
* **12:55 Sophisticated Camera:**  The system includes a 50-megapixel Kodak KAI-50100 CCD camera with a Peltier cooling system for reduced noise.
* **14:54 High-Speed Data Transfer:** The camera features dual analog-to-digital converters to manage the high data throughput of the 50-megapixel sensor, which is effectively two 25-megapixel sensors operating in parallel.
* **18:11 Possible Issues:** The video creator noted some potential issues with the camera, including image smearing. 
* **18:11 Limited Dynamic Range:** The camera's sensor has a limited dynamic range, making it potentially challenging to capture scenes with a wide range of brightness levels.
* **11:45 Low Runtime:** Internal data suggests the system has seen minimal usage, with only 20 minutes of recorded runtime for the green LED.
* **20:38 Availability on eBay:** Both the illuminator and camera are expected to be listed for sale on eBay.

Here is the real transcript. Please summarize it: 
00:00:02 and Jimmy on the whole. Thanks for
00:00:02 watching.
00:00:09 Very kind. Um,
00:00:09 everybody's like in Hawaiian church and
00:00:11 stuff tonight. It is uh it is
00:00:13 unseasonably sweltering here in Los
00:00:16 Angeles. It's hot, right,
00:00:17 G?
00:00:19 Hot.
00:00:19 That means for our bilingual viewers,
00:00:22 that means it's hot.
00:00:24 It's hot. Yes.
00:00:26 But even though the air is thick with
00:00:28 humidity, we can breathe a little easier
00:00:30 tonight because Donald Trump is out of
00:00:32 the country. He is
00:00:40 our parents left the house. Trump is in
00:00:40 the UK, or as he has to be reminded not
00:00:43 to call it, the UK. He
00:00:46 Paddington Unbearable is in England for
00:00:48 an official visit with the royal family.
00:00:51 Wait till he finds out tea time has
00:00:52 nothing to do with golf. He's going to
00:00:54 be very upset. The royals are expected
00:00:57 to greet the president and first lady
00:00:59 tomorrow, but some clever Brits are
00:01:01 already rolling out well, not a I
00:01:04 wouldn't call it a red carpet exactly,
00:01:06 but rather a King Kong sized photo of
00:01:09 Trump with his buddy Jeffrey.
00:01:12 This is
00:01:14 right outside
00:01:16 Windsor Castle where the Trumps will be
00:01:18 staying. Melania, don't look out the
00:01:21 window. You don't want to. That sign,
00:01:23 which by the way really put Kinko to the
00:01:26 test, is especially timely because this
00:01:28 trip he's taking was planned by the UK
00:01:31 ambassador to Washington, guy named
00:01:33 Peter Mandlesson, who was fired last
00:01:35 week when they found out he wrote one of
00:01:36 the letters in the Jeffrey Epstein
00:01:38 birthday book, which means Pete will not
00:01:40 be there for the visit he planned, which
00:01:42 is too bad. He and Trump would have had
00:01:44 a lot of gross things to talk about, I'm
00:01:46 sure.
00:01:47 This morning, Trump warmed up for his
00:01:49 date with the British press by yelling
00:01:50 at a reporter from Australia who dared
00:01:52 to ask about the billions of dollars
00:01:54 he's been raking in since the election.
00:01:57 Appropriate President Trump that a
00:01:59 president in office should be engaged in
00:02:02 so much business activity.
00:02:03 Well, I'm really not. My kids are
00:02:05 running the business. I'm here. You know
00:02:07 what the activity? Where are you from?
00:02:09 I'm from the Australian Broadcasting
00:02:10 Corporation for Porn and Project.
00:02:12 The Australians. You're hurting
00:02:13 Australia, right? In my opinion, you are
00:02:16 hurting Australia very much right now
00:02:18 and they want to get along with me. You
00:02:20 know, your your your leader is coming
00:02:22 over to see me very soon. I'm going to
00:02:24 tell him about you. You said a very bad
00:02:26 tone. Go ahead, John.
00:02:34 What a little tattletail he is. I mean,
00:02:34 going to tell his prime minister on him.
00:02:36 I'm going to tell him you said mean
00:02:38 things and you're going to be in
00:02:39 trouble. He needs to make a decision.
00:02:41 You want to be a dictator or just a
00:02:43 dick? Because you can't He also
00:02:52 he also spent some time bragging about
00:02:52 his $200 million ballroom again. He said
00:02:55 it's going to be the greatest ballroom
00:02:57 anywhere in the world. Oh, how how
00:02:59 exhilarating for all of us. He's so
00:03:02 excited for these balls. He can taste
00:03:03 them. He's Trump claims he claims he's
00:03:06 going to pay for some of the cost of the
00:03:08 ballroom as a gift to us, which thank
00:03:11 you very much. We'll never be in it, but
00:03:13 thank you very much. And he's already
00:03:15 figured out where to get the money.
00:03:16 Trump today became the first president
00:03:18 to sue the New York Times. He's suing
00:03:20 the New York Times for $15 billion for
00:03:23 defamation. 15 billion. Where does he
00:03:26 even come up? These are like numbers my
00:03:28 children make up when they're talking
00:03:30 about money. I thought he said the New
00:03:32 York Times was failing. He thinks they
00:03:33 have $15 billion.
00:03:36 How much would he sue for if he thought
00:03:37 they were doing well? Trump announced
00:03:39 the suit this morning. He wrote, "Today,
00:03:41 I have the great honor of bringing a $15
00:03:44 billion defamation and liel lawsuit
00:03:46 against the New York Times, one of the
00:03:48 worst and most degenerate newspapers in
00:03:50 the history of our country. The Times
00:03:52 has engaged in a decadesl long method of
00:03:55 lying about your favorite president, me,
00:03:57 my family business, the America First
00:03:59 Movement, MAGA, and our nation as a
00:04:01 whole. The New York Times has been
00:04:02 allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame
00:04:05 me for far too long, and that stops now.
00:04:08 And then he follows it with, "This suit
00:04:10 is being brought in the great state of
00:04:12 Florida." Uh-oh. And will be heard by
00:04:15 Judge Dog the Bounty Hunter, my new
00:04:17 appointee.
00:04:19 Trump is um
00:04:22 he won't win this. The New York Times
00:04:24 won't settle. Trump says the Times is
00:04:26 run by a bunch of lefties. He claims
00:04:28 they're a mouthpiece for the Democrats.
00:04:30 I have to say I did do today's Wordle
00:04:33 and I don't know if you did but he might
00:04:35 be right.
00:04:37 Besides how ridiculous it is, this might
00:04:39 be one of the funniest legal documents
00:04:41 I've ever seen. It's quite a tongue
00:04:43 bath. one page list Trump's quote
00:04:46 hundreds of history-making media
00:04:47 appearances including Wrestlemania 5,
00:04:50 All My Children, Ghost Can't Do It, Two
00:04:53 Weeks Notice, Days of Our Lives,
00:04:55 MissUSA, Miss Universe, The Alley G
00:04:57 Show, Marmalade, and much, much more.
00:05:00 This is quite a resume, you know. He met
00:05:02 Melania on 90Day Fiance.
00:05:05 It's in the in addition to the Times,
00:05:09 he's also filing another frivolous
00:05:11 lawsuit against the publisher and
00:05:13 authors of this book, Lucky Loser: How
00:05:16 Donald Trump squandered his father's
00:05:17 Fortune and Created the Illusion of
00:05:20 Success. A book I had never heard of
00:05:22 until today, but will now be ordering
00:05:24 for every member of my family. You know
00:05:27 what?
00:05:29 Maybe it'll maybe it'll become a New
00:05:32 York Times bestseller and he could sue
00:05:33 them both again.
00:05:35 And it's not just writers the
00:05:37 president's trying to silence. He's
00:05:38 ordered our national parks to remove a
00:05:41 number of signs and exhibits related to
00:05:43 slavery. He's rewiting history in the
00:05:46 United States. From now on, under Donald
00:05:49 Trump, slaves will be referred to as
00:05:51 tourists who volunteered to help white
00:05:54 people do stuff.
00:05:56 No, that was a joke. That wasn't
00:05:57 entirely.
00:05:59 You never know, right? I mean, he's also
00:06:01 sending the National Guard into Memphis
00:06:03 where crime is at a 25-y year low.
00:06:06 What's going to be h what's will happen
00:06:08 when we actually need the National
00:06:10 Guard? Will we have to call in the Eagle
00:06:12 Scouts? Meanwhile, many in Magaland are
00:06:14 working very hard to capitalize on the
00:06:17 murder of Charlie Kirk. Yesterday, JD
00:06:19 Vance, who himself famously called
00:06:22 Donald Trump America's Hitler, hosted
00:06:24 the Charlie Kirk podcast from the White
00:06:26 House, where he pointed his little
00:06:28 mascara stained finger directly at the
00:06:30 left. While our side of the aisle
00:06:32 certainly has its crazies, it is a
00:06:34 statistical fact that most of the
00:06:36 lunatics in American politics today are
00:06:40 proud members of the far left.
00:06:42 Right? And by statistical fact, he means
00:06:45 complete is what they need.
00:06:50 In fact,
00:06:53 so much so that the Department of
00:06:55 Justice just removed a study that showed
00:06:58 white supremacy and violence from
00:06:59 far-right groups is the greatest source
00:07:02 of domestic terror and extremist
00:07:04 violence in the United States. Here's a
00:07:06 question JD Vance might be able to
00:07:08 answer. Who wanted to hang the guy who
00:07:10 was vice president before you? Was that
00:07:12 the liberal left or the toothless army
00:07:15 who stormed the capital on January 6th?
00:07:18 The president and his henchmen are doing
00:07:19 their best to fan the flames so they can
00:07:22 I guess attack people on the dangerous
00:07:25 left with which is it? Are the dangerous
00:07:27 are they a bunch of pickle ball
00:07:29 players because they're too scared to
00:07:31 get hit by tennis balls or a
00:07:33 wellorganized deadly team of commandos?
00:07:35 Because it can't be both of those
00:07:37 things. There's a guy on Newsmax which
00:07:39 if you haven't seen it is really funny.
00:07:42 It's like a low rent Fox News. There's a
00:07:44 guy named Carl Higgby who at first
00:07:46 glance you would think is a comedian
00:07:48 playing a right-wing news anchor. Sadly,
00:07:51 he is all real. Like my conservative
00:07:53 brothers and sisters, it is us versus
00:07:55 them. They will never get along with us.
00:07:57 But they want to they want us to show
00:07:59 tolerance for them while they just
00:08:00 scream and insult us. Done. We're not
00:08:02 doing that anymore. We're not taking it
00:08:04 anymore. I have no interest in
00:08:06 tolerating your views because you know
00:08:08 you guys are radical. My mother-in-law
00:08:10 is banned from my house.
00:08:17 That came out of nowhere.
00:08:17 His mother-in-law isn't even a Democrat.
00:08:19 He just doesn't like her. It was just a
00:08:22 boy. What a difference an election
00:08:23 makes. Two years ago, these meattheads
00:08:25 couldn't shut up about the First
00:08:26 Amendment. Now they want to skip right
00:08:27 to the second. Elon Musk, who was so
00:08:30 angry about conservative voices being
00:08:32 silenced that he bought Twitter and
00:08:34 turned it into excrement, said the left
00:08:38 is the party of murder. And Eric Trump
00:08:41 was on Fox and Friends waxing poetic
00:08:43 about Charlie Kirk's relationship with
00:08:45 his dad. If you look at at where he's
00:08:48 created and the movement that he's built
00:08:50 today, it's exactly what he described to
00:08:52 me 10 years ago. And he became obviously
00:08:54 dear friends of Dons. became, you know,
00:08:56 that's right, probably a second son to
00:08:58 my father.
00:09:01 Wait, wait. I thought you were the
00:09:03 second son to your father.
00:09:06 I mean, this
00:09:08 I'm starting to feel bad for Eric. This
00:09:11 poor guy might need somebody to adopt
00:09:13 him. In Washington today, the Senate
00:09:16 Judiciary Committee grilled FBI Director
00:09:19 Cash Patel. It's an honor to be here
00:09:21 with you today as the ninth director of
00:09:22 the FBI to bring this fugitive to
00:09:24 justice. We have also arrested this may
00:09:27 be the most important part about to face
00:09:29 charges the same time last year. Ongoing
00:09:33 investigations
00:09:34 crimes free and we're going to keep
00:09:36 going.
00:09:44 Lastly, I want to close with the Cash
00:09:44 Patel Senate hearings brought to you by
00:09:46 Flise.
00:09:48 All good. Now, you know what? It's Don't
00:09:52 make fun. Allergies are seasonal and
00:09:54 serious. So, Patel was summoned to
00:09:57 explain why they refused to release the
00:09:59 Epstein files they promised to release.
00:10:02 He was dodgy, sketchy, sniffy,
00:10:04 combative, and just unpleasant overall.
00:10:06 He couldn't even answer a question from
00:10:09 fellow Republican John Kennedy.
00:10:11 Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic
00:10:14 these young women to besides himself?
00:10:17 Himself? There is no credible
00:10:19 information. None. If there were, I
00:10:22 would bring the case yesterday.
00:10:24 Forget yesterday. How about tomorrow? We
00:10:26 would take He still has no explanation
00:10:28 for why they won't release the files and
00:10:30 no explanation for why Epstein's primary
00:10:32 accomplice, Gilain Maxwell, was suddenly
00:10:35 transferred to a country club prison
00:10:37 after meeting with Trump's lawyer. But
00:10:39 eventually though, frustration boiled
00:10:41 over and Senator Cy Booker didn't just
00:10:44 grill Patel, he flame broiled him live
00:10:47 in front of everyone.
00:10:48 Here's the thing, Mr. Patel. I think
00:10:51 you're not going to be around long. I
00:10:53 think this might be your last oversight
00:10:55 hearing because as much as you
00:10:57 supplicate yourself to the will of
00:10:58 Donald Trump and not the Constitution of
00:11:00 the United States of America, Donald
00:11:02 Trump has shown us in his first term and
00:11:04 in this term, he is not loyal to people
00:11:07 like you. He will cut you loose. This
00:11:10 may be the last time I have a hearing
00:11:12 with you because I don't think you're
00:11:14 long for your job. But I'm going to tell
00:11:16 you this. I pray for you. I pray for you
00:11:20 that you can step up and defend your
00:11:22 oath, defend the Constitution, and do a
00:11:25 much better job of defending this
00:11:27 country. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
00:11:38 and then and he grounded him for two
00:11:38 weeks with no TV. The House Oversight
00:11:41 Committee today released another batch
00:11:43 of Epstein documents, or as Trump calls
00:11:45 them, fake documents, unless they
00:11:46 exonerate him, in which case, real
00:11:48 documents. That's how you can tell. But
00:11:50 Cash Patel, I'm not sure he even has the
00:11:53 Epstein files to release. I have a
00:11:54 feeling Trump put him like on top of a
00:11:57 refrigerator where he can't reach them
00:11:58 or something. But if he ever does get
00:12:00 them, I think he should literally take a
00:12:03 page out of his boss's playbook and
00:12:05 offer them for sale.
00:12:08 I just got a page from the Epstein
00:12:10 Files.
00:12:10 I got one, too.
00:12:12 And you won't believe who's on the list.

*Abstract:*

This video features a satirical monologue and comedic segments from a late-night talk show. The monologue critiques current events, including the President's (implied Donald Trump) social media commentary on a new NFL kickoff rule and the potential sale of TikTok to a Trump-aligned billionaire. It also satirizes the President's insensitive reaction to the murder of "Charlie Kirk" and features criticism of political figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene for her "national divorce" proposal. The latter part of the video shifts to a humorous recap of the Emmys, where the host (Jimmy Kimmel) recounts his loss and the chaotic nature of the event, culminating in a series of comedic interactions and games with his sidekick, Guillermo.

The green LED looks different from the others and uses phosphor conversion because of the "green gap" problem where green InGaN emitters suffer efficiency droop at high currents. Phosphide based emitters don't start becoming efficient until around 600nm so also can't be used for high power green emitters. See the paper and plot by Matthias Auf der Maur in his 2015 paper on alloy fluctuations in InGaN as the cause of reduced external quantum efficiency at longer (green) wavelengths.

Narrowband filters we use in Astronomy (Astrophotography) are sided- they work best passing light in one direction so I guess the arrows on the filter frames indicate which way round to install them in the filter wheel.

The smearing on the image could be due to the fact that you don't use a shutter, so you see brighter stripes under bright areas of the image as you still iluminate these pixels while the sensor data ist shifted out towards the top. I experienced this effect back at university with a LN-Cooled CCD for Spectroscopy. The stripes disapeared as soon as you used the shutter instead of disabling it in the open position (but fokussing at 100ms integration time and continuous readout with a focal plane shutter isn't much fun).

The red LED reminds me of one from Roithner Lasertechnik. I have a Symbol 2D scanner which uses two very bright LEDs from that company, one red and one red-orange. The red-orange is behind a lens which focuses it into an extremely narrow beam.

From the datasheet of the sensor (Onsemi): saturation 40300 electrons, read noise 12.5 electrons per pixel @ 18MHz (quite bad). quantum efficiency 62% (if it has micro lenses), frame rate 1 Hz. lateral overflow drain to prevent blooming protects against 800x (factor increases linearly with exposure time) saturation exposure (32e6 electrons per pixel at 4ms exposure time), microlens has +/- 20 degree acceptance angle
i guess it would be good for astrophotography

That looks like a finger-lakes filter wheel, however, for astronomy they'd never use such a large stepper.

so I've stripped all the bits of the
0:01
optical system so basically we've got
0:03
the uh the camera
0:05
itself which is mounted on this uh very
0:09
complex
0:10
adjustment thing which obviously to set
0:13
you the various tilt and uh alignment
0:15
stuff then there's two of these massive
0:18
lenses I've taken one of these apart I
0:20
think there's something like about eight
0:22
or nine Optical elements in here these
0:25
don't seem to do a great deal in terms
0:26
of electr magnification they're obiously
0:28
just about getting the image to where it
0:29
uh where it needs to be just so that
0:33
goes like that then this Optical block I
0:36
originally thought this was made of some
0:37
s crazy heavy material but it's just
0:39
really the sum of all these Optical bits
0:41
are just ridiculously heavy those lenses
0:43
are about 4 kilos each and then there's
0:45
this very heavy very solid um piece that
0:47
goes in the middle and this is so this
0:49
is the filter wheel assembly with a
0:51
hilariously oversized steper
0:53
motor driving this wheel with these very
0:57
large narrow band filters so we've got
1:00
various different shades of uh
1:03
filters there five Al together that
1:06
one's actually just showing up a silver
1:07
that's actually a a red but fairly low
1:10
transmission orangey red blue green
1:15
there's an excess cover on this side so
1:16
the filters can be accessed and changed
1:19
without taking anything else apart even
1:21
this is like ridiculous it's like solid
1:23
aluminium this is just basically a cover
1:25
the actual wavelengths of these are um
1:27
488 525 570 630 and 700 NM not sure what
1:32
the suffix on that perhaps that's the uh
1:34
the width of the spectral line say these
1:37
are very narrow band filters most of
1:39
them are you very little light through
1:41
so it's still very tight narrow band to
1:43
match the um fluoresence of the dies
1:45
they're using in the biochemical process
1:48
and obviously to reject the light that's
1:49
being fired at it from that Illuminator
1:51
box and then there's a there's a second
1:53
one of these lenses then the actual sort
1:55
of samples below that so uh very serious
1:58
amount of very uh chunky heavy Optics
2:01
okay let's take a look at this light
2:02
source made by company Lumen Dynamics
2:04
who are now part of
2:06
excelitas self-contained unit power
2:08
connector USB and this which one of the
2:11
Cable Bundle said was a TTL interface
2:14
USB wasn't used in uh the fluid
2:17
application output here and I think this
2:19
is an input for um light feedback I
2:21
don't if it's regulated or just a measur
2:23
measurement facility and the uh fiber
2:27
assembly
2:29
Square Inlet there and then there's two
2:32
outputs which have uh lens assemblies
2:35
and this small one which goes back into
2:37
that small Port just Loops out of here
2:40
straight back in So on this side we've
2:42
got the electronics which look pretty
2:44
straightforward we've got a bit of power
2:45
supply stuff over here and we've got
2:48
separate drivers for each wavelength now
2:50
interesting this is clearly been very
2:52
specifically made for this application
2:54
you I was half expecting like say some
2:56
generic drivers that could be used for a
2:58
number of different things but actually
3:00
literally specified the exact wavelength
3:02
on the PCB there is provision here for
3:04
385 NM which isn't populated but this is
3:07
clearly been designed very specifically
3:09
so these four drivers look the same but
3:10
then there's two higher power ones for
3:12
575 and
3:14
520 a slightly bigger heat sink on this
3:16
575 section there a p 24 which is
3:20
providing USB interface USB isolator the
3:23
USB interface just presents as a comport
3:26
I did have a quick look but I didn't
3:27
actually get anything sensible um I did
3:29
dump the Pi code out and there's a few
3:31
you a few sort of commands that you
3:32
could see in text but I didn't actually
3:34
manage to get it working properly I
3:36
found some software for related version
3:38
but it didn't seem to want to talk to it
3:39
but um I say that wasn't used for the
3:41
original application it might be quite
3:42
interesting to get try and get the Run
3:44
hours count out of it and the TTL
3:46
interface looks fairly straightforward
3:48
we've got positions for six opto
3:50
isolators but only five five are
3:52
installed so that corresponds with the
3:54
unused thing so I think this hopefully
3:56
should be as simple as just providing a
3:57
ttrl signal for each color to uh enable
4:00
it a big heat sink here which is there I
4:03
think there's like a big S of metal
4:04
plate through the middle of this that
4:05
all the leads are mounted on the other
4:07
side so this is heat sinking it with a
4:09
air flow from a uh just a fan in here
4:13
obviously don't have the air flow
4:14
anywhere near the Optics so conduction
4:17
cool through to this plate that's then
4:18
uh air cooled got some pots which are
4:21
presumably power
4:22
adjustments okay let's take a look at
4:24
the other side which is uh much more
4:27
interesting see we've got some uh very
4:31
uh neatly Twisted cable assemblies there
4:35
a bunch of leads so we've got one here
4:37
475 up here 430 NM 630 575 and 520
4:44
filters and dcro mirrors a quick way to
4:48
see what's white is if we just shine
4:49
some white light through
4:51
here not sure how it is is to see on the
4:54
camera but shining white light we do
4:55
actually get a bit of red a bit of blue
4:57
some yellow here so the obstacle path
5:00
575 it goes sort of here bounces off
5:03
this mirror and goes out the 520 goes
5:07
sort of down here across here and up
5:09
there 630 goes basically straight
5:13
through
5:15
430 goes across there down there along
5:17
there and the 475 goes down here and
5:20
left this is the light sensing thing
5:22
think here there's just a um I think
5:24
there a photo diode or other sensor
5:26
haven't actually taken that off and
5:28
everything's fixed down to this chunk of
5:31
aluminium which acts as the heat
5:32
spreader that then conducts the heat to
5:33
the back side for the heat
5:35
sink and the actual lead packages all
5:38
look fairly similar except for this one
5:41
on the 575 which looks quite a bit more
5:44
substantial big spay
5:46
Terminals and the interface for this
5:48
turned out to be extremely simple it's
5:50
literally a 5V TTL level to enable each
5:54
color doesn't seem to be any tensity
5:56
control but there are some additional
5:58
pins on that connector that weren't used
5:59
in the through time thing so maybe
6:01
there's some extra lines that control
6:02
that I couldn't find any data on this uh
6:05
unit and the um their current product
6:07
range is quite significantly different
6:09
so we've got the uh blue these
6:13
might may well be saturating the camera
6:16
so they might look a bit weird so that's
6:17
the 430
6:18
blue the 575
6:24
yellow uh
6:26
475 light blue
6:29
the uh 520
6:31
green and the uh 630 red now one
6:36
interesting thing I noticed for the
6:39
575 it's actually it's actually using a
6:42
white lead and then filtering it rather
6:44
than using all the other ones are using
6:46
leads which are the fundamental colors
6:47
but uh this is actually doing white and
6:50
it's a combination of this filter and
6:52
the dichroic mirrors that are turning to
6:55
Yellow if we take the filter out and a
6:57
lot of the a lot of the um blue content
7:00
is going this way the red is going
7:02
straight through these two mirrors so
7:05
this is clearly not reflecting much of
7:08
that so we end up with the yellow coming
7:10
out of uh out of there which is a fairly
7:14
light yellow color which you don't
7:16
really see from high intensity leads so
7:19
that's clearly why they've used the
7:20
white to uh do this power consumption of
7:23
the white is pretty high so going up to
7:25
about 2 and 1 half amps on that color
7:27
whereas most of the other colors are
7:28
only drawing half an amp or so at 24
7:30
volts the uh the green is up to about
7:32
1.2 but say this thing is uh much
7:35
brighter and if you actually run all the
7:38
colors at the same time you get a fairly
7:41
reasonable um looking white coming out
7:43
of it and one thing you might just be
7:45
out to notice is there is some sort
7:46
color banding around here that's not
7:49
getting uh everything s completely
7:51
concentric and I think that's where this
7:53
fiber optic thing comes
7:58
in I'll
8:00
get a couple of Fairly accurately shaped
8:04
very sort of uniform color and looking
8:06
at What's um inside here we've basically
8:09
just got this Square Rod so this is
8:12
clearly yeah the lights just bouncing
8:13
off all the all the various sides to um
8:16
get a nice uniform illumination uh this
8:19
back bit looks like it's all potted so
8:21
nothing I really do to get in there I
8:24
think this is fiber so I have come
8:26
across um cables like this which are
8:27
liquid fill but just looking through the
8:30
end of this it's probably a bit hard to
8:31
see it does look like there fiber ends
8:34
going going on there and so there's this
8:36
feedback thing which is just obviously
8:39
compensating for the any light losses
8:41
through here to get an accurate
8:43
representation of uh the light that's
8:45
been launched out of these two
8:47
fibers and you see uh
8:49
these have got this sort of trapezium
8:54
shape light guides again it's like a
8:56
sort of acrylic or glass light guide
9:00
guess projected just to make the right
9:03
rectangular
9:04
shape and look at this Center assembly
9:07
um the light output doesn't uh change
9:10
whether you feed this in or not so it's
9:11
clear not doing any internal Clos Loop
9:14
control obviously there may well be some
9:16
facility for it to do that but it's not
9:17
being used in this
9:19
application and so this output just
9:21
produces a voltage on the uh outle
9:24
connector proportional to the amount of
9:26
light that's present so there's a little
9:28
diffuser in the back there
9:30
and then there's just some kind of uh
9:33
Optical sensor looks like a
9:35
chip looking at the lead it's a very
9:37
small package on the PCB with this lens
9:40
assembly over the top and these look
9:43
like they're actually on a copper
9:44
Metalized PCB for maximum thermal
9:47
performance and yeah it's a very small
9:49
package looks like it's a ceramic
9:51
package and there's a thermister there
9:53
for temperature monitoring this is the
9:56
475 blue one this is the 520 need to
9:59
Green which is uh rather different OB
10:02
it's a much bigger D with lots of bond
10:04
wise but also this looks like it's using
10:05
a phosphor if I shine a blue light at it
10:08
lights up green so this is actually a
10:10
phosphor conversion green lead which
10:12
I've I've come across before they want
10:15
that specific wavelength so they may be
10:17
easier to tune a phosphor than tune the
10:20
um semiconductor material to get the uh
10:23
right right wavelength from the lead
10:24
directly uh red 630 similar size to the
10:28
blue one or does seem to have a uh a
10:31
lens on top of it there is a sort of red
10:33
coloring to
10:35
the die but that doesn't appear to be
10:38
fluorescent as far as I can
10:39
tell and the white one again a little
10:41
bit different sort of much higher
10:43
current
10:46
connectors a makeer name on that
10:48
connector flot light not sure if that's
10:52
the connector or the lead
10:54
itself and obviously with the phosphor
10:56
and I'd imagine that phosphor may well
10:58
be tuned to get the maximum to the uh 5
11:01
cenm and actually this white one looks
11:04
like a St fairly standard product I just
11:06
found it in Mouse made by luminous
11:09
devices in fact actually I think all
11:11
these are based on various luminous
11:13
devices modules and they're you take
11:17
looks like they taking the nearest
11:18
wavelength and then just using these
11:19
filters to clean it up to get a precise
11:22
uh spectral line out of it so quite a
11:25
nice neat and um extreme
11:30
bright light source uh sure I've got any
11:33
particular use for it so I think this
11:35
might end up on
11:36
eBay but uh very pretty to look out and
11:40
without the uh risk of burning your eyes
11:43
out like you do with lasers so I thought
11:45
it would be interesting to try and
11:46
figure out the runtime of this things
11:48
like this we usually keep some sort
11:49
record of runtime cuz leads degrade over
11:51
time I couldn't get any software to work
11:52
through the USB face but then had a
11:54
thought probably going to be writing the
11:55
runtime periodically to the e s prom so
11:58
I just just scope up that and noticed it
12:00
was doing right every 5 minutes so I
12:02
just ran it for a while periodically
12:04
reading the E squ I just held the pick
12:05
in in reset and um put clip over to read
12:07
the square prom and found it was writing
12:10
one location per color every 5 minutes
12:12
so if one color was on it would write
12:14
that location every 5 minutes and just
12:16
increment it by one so after doing a few
12:18
tests with different colors of different
12:19
time periods it looked extremely
12:21
straightforward it's like a four bite
12:22
count for each color looking at the
12:24
original data that was in it all the
12:26
colors apart from Green were reading
12:28
zero and the green was reading four
12:30
indicating a total 20 minutes run time
12:32
ever if it was turned on run for a short
12:34
time then turned off that might not have
12:36
been counted but even so indicates this
12:37
thing wasn't used a great deal the whole
12:40
s process of doing a run can be several
12:42
hours but it'll only be doing probably
12:43
the Imaging at the end of that so you
12:46
wouldn't expect to be running for a long
12:47
time but say a single color for 20
12:50
minutes over its whole lifetime does
12:52
seem a little bit on the low side okay
12:55
let's look at the camera un fortunately
12:57
I managed to not record any sound when I
12:58
did this it's also a couple of months
13:00
ago so there's going to be a few details
13:02
that I've forgotten so I'm just going to
13:04
dub this over the original footage so um
13:07
take the lid off see this massive great
13:10
heat sink so this is a pel cool camera
13:12
we've got this blower fan producing a
13:14
fair amount of air flow through
13:16
it the connector here there's the ccds
13:19
mounted on the board on the
13:24
right this unplugs so we've got a bit of
13:27
power supply stuff on here
13:29
USB interface I think that's the Cyprus
13:32
microcontroller High speeded USB
13:34
interface there's a zyink spon fpga some
13:40
RAM and there's a couple of ATD
13:42
converters can't quite read what those
13:45
those are but anal
13:47
devices um little bit of bodgery around
13:51
here extra decoupling obviously they
13:53
have having some noise issues this is
13:55
around the ram chip quite a lot of extra
13:57
capacitors been added there
13:59
uh there's a couple of amplifiers prior
14:01
to the HD converter buffers or Andor
14:05
amplifiers taking the CCD
14:08
signal um bit more power spy stuff here
14:11
this is probably all to do with
14:12
generating the various CCD bias voltages
14:14
they uh need quite a lot of exotic
14:18
voltages next board down is just a
14:20
shield and an interconnect
14:24
boardly shielding the power supply stuff
14:26
from some the more sensitive an log
14:28
stuff
14:31
and this is the bottom board which is
14:32
just all power supply
14:34
stuff as you can see tons of capacitors
14:37
or Transformer in
14:42
there and this is the CCD which is a uh
14:47
very impressive thing this is a kf50 100
14:50
originally by true sense then codec
14:53
there ON
14:54
Semiconductor it's 50 megapixels uh the
14:58
only price I could find was this one
15:00
5,000 bucks and the architecture you can
15:03
see there actually two separate halves
15:04
which explains the Dual AZ converters
15:06
and two amplifiers it's literally split
15:08
down the middle and duplicated so it's
15:10
outputting two streams in parallel just
15:13
to keep the bandwidth sensible and it's
15:15
got this amazing um diffraction effects
15:18
it's got micro lenses over the pixel so
15:20
there's there's a bit more Optics going
15:22
on than on a normal
15:25
sensor few more bodges on the CCD board
15:28
including this wire which isn't really
15:29
tacked down very well which is a bit uh
15:32
bit of a mess quite a few bits around
15:34
this board where they've uh tacked
15:36
various bits on which is not super
15:38
impressive looks like CCD drivers on the
15:40
left with those 3 ohm um damping
15:43
resistors on the
15:47
output get a few more little bodges
15:50
around here some of
15:52
the and there's this separator the
15:54
silica gel to keep the moisture down but
15:56
there's this separator that actually
15:58
appears to be cut from piece of
15:59
antistatic
16:04
bag and this sort of thermal block on
16:06
top of this stack of three pel Cola
16:12
modules so as with any Stacks they get
16:16
um larger as they go back towards the
16:18
heat sink because each P's got to not
16:20
only take the heat from the previous but
16:21
also the waste heat which is quite
16:27
significant you see a little temperature
16:29
sensor here that copper block which
16:32
makes contact with the back of the
16:37
CCD and this's the back of the
16:40
pelas this then contacts the heat sink
16:44
on the uh rear there a few thermal pads
16:46
as well for some of the other power
16:47
components on this
16:51
PCB okay I've connected this uh camera
16:54
up I found some drivers on the disc that
16:56
seem to work under Windows 7 couldn't
16:58
get to install under Windows 11 though
17:01
um in the absence of any sort of lens or
17:03
being bothered to the proper amount I've
17:04
just put some f over it and put a little
17:06
pin in there to make a pinhole lens and
17:08
software gives a few options I'm not
17:11
entirely sure what all these are there's
17:12
obviously a clock frequency 22 MHz low
17:15
gain and with PFG no idea what that is
17:19
something something game programmable
17:20
Something game perhaps ver exposure
17:23
types I think focus is just like a
17:25
continuous grab until you tell it to
17:27
stop not entirely sure all these options
17:30
are obviously exposure time uh triggers
17:33
there ex external hardware trigger inut
17:35
you just trigger using a um thing on
17:37
screen so the resolution is 8176 by
17:40
6132 and you can actually bin those
17:42
where you combine multiple pixels to get
17:46
increased gain at the expense of lower
17:48
resolution down this is a 10sec exposure
17:51
obviously of the pin hole it's very uh
17:53
intensitive so we just stand still now
17:56
downloading it there's the uh exposure
17:59
so when it's
18:01
um there's a little status thing down
18:03
here so that tells you the um exposure
18:07
[Applause]
18:09
time it's this is just it
18:15
downloading um it is quite I'm seeing
18:18
quite a lot like smearing I think that I
18:20
don't know whether that's just due to
18:21
pixels overloading or something else I
18:24
mean yeah it's not it's not um out of
18:26
the question that there's something not
18:27
totally right about this camera
18:28
certainly was bodge wise on there um I
18:31
don't I'd imagine a camera like this
18:32
it's got a fairly narrow range of
18:34
intensities that it's happy with I'm not
18:36
going to spend a great deal of time on
18:38
this if you're interested in this camera
18:40
maybe for astronomy or something and
18:42
happy to sort of take the risk of it may
18:44
not be uh perfect I'll um I think I'll
18:47
stick this on eBay along with the
18:48
Illuminator I'll put a link down in the
18:50
description to the listing take your
18:52
chances to grab a bargain so for example
18:54
here we see this vertical streaking so
18:56
I'm not sure how normal that is this is
18:58
on fairly bright scene looking out the
19:02
window if I cut the exposure time down
19:04
on that it's now 1 second
19:07
exposure again most of the image
19:09
disappears again this is looks like it's
19:11
possibly over still overloading here go
19:14
that go down to say say quarter a
19:16
second so again I think there might be
19:19
some Auto gain control going on here um
19:21
this is with the PFG option let's try
19:23
turning that off and see what
19:25
happens so I'm not sure this is actually
19:27
more streaking or which just it's
19:29
cranked up the gain all the dis display
19:31
gray scale to show what um you know the
19:33
range of things that it's captured
19:36
there's one of one of 12 things in the
19:38
software there's um you can see of you
19:40
can't seem to read out the temperature
19:42
of the pelta cooler but you can set the
19:44
temperature and if you said it's a
19:46
different temperature you see the power
19:48
consumption jump up running the cooler
19:50
to get the temperature you requested but
19:52
I can't see anything anywhere that tells
19:54
you whether the cool is at the at the
19:56
temperature other than the power
19:57
consumption going down and there's no
19:59
temperature read out
20:03
here and just some yeah this is just
20:05
sort of very basic software I'm sure
20:07
there's like an API for more
20:09
sophisticated
20:10
applications but so if you know anything
20:12
more about these cameras please um stick
20:14
in the
20:15
comments um incidentally when I was
20:18
editing I didn't notice there was a bent
20:19
pin on the um CCD but I did fix that
20:22
before doing these tests and also
20:24
reactivated the um silica gel desicant
20:26
cuz I noticed it was uh I was getting
20:28
bit of condensation on the window but um
20:31
yeah so a couple of uh interesting but
20:34
maybe not particularly uh useful pieces
20:37
of Kit except for someone that's got a
20:38
very specific use so um I'll stick a
20:42
I'll stick these on eBay put a link in
20:44
the description and say hopefully
20:45
someone could actually make some uh good
20:47
use of these things
Example Output:
**Abstract:**

This video presents Part 2 of a teardown focusing on the optical components of a Fluidigm Polaris biotechnology instrument, specifically the multi-wavelength illuminator and the high-resolution CCD camera.

The Lumen Dynamics illuminator unit is examined in detail, revealing its construction using multiple high-power LEDs (430nm, 475nm, 520nm, 575nm, 630nm) combined via dichroic mirrors and filters. A square fiber optic rod is used to homogenize the light. A notable finding is the use of a phosphor-converted white LED filtered to achieve the 575nm output. The unit features simple TTL activation for each color, conduction cooling, and internal homogenization optics. Analysis of its EEPROM suggests extremely low operational runtime.

The camera module teardown showcases a 50 Megapixel ON Semiconductor KAF-50100 CCD sensor with micro-lenses, cooled by a multi-stage Peltier stack. The control electronics include an FPGA and a USB interface. Significant post-manufacturing modifications ("bodges") are observed on the camera's circuit boards. Basic functional testing using vendor software and a pinhole lens confirms image capture but reveals prominent vertical streaking artifacts, the cause of which remains uncertain (potential overload, readout artifact, or fault).

**Exploring the Fluidigm Polaris: A Detailed Look at its High-End Optics and Camera System**

* **0:00 High-End Optics:** The system utilizes heavy, high-quality lenses and mirrors for precise imaging, weighing around 4 kilos each.
* **0:49 Narrow Band Filters:** A filter wheel with five narrow band filters (488, 525, 570, 630, and 700 nm) ensures accurate fluorescence detection and rejection of excitation light. 
* **2:01 Customizable Illumination:** The Lumen Dynamics light source offers five individually controllable LED wavelengths (430, 475, 520, 575, 630 nm) with varying power outputs. The 575nm yellow LED is uniquely achieved using a white LED with filtering.
* **3:45 TTL Control:**  The light source is controlled via a simple TTL interface, enabling easy on/off switching for each LED color.
* **12:55 Sophisticated Camera:**  The system includes a 50-megapixel Kodak KAI-50100 CCD camera with a Peltier cooling system for reduced noise.
* **14:54 High-Speed Data Transfer:** The camera features dual analog-to-digital converters to manage the high data throughput of the 50-megapixel sensor, which is effectively two 25-megapixel sensors operating in parallel.
* **18:11 Possible Issues:** The video creator noted some potential issues with the camera, including image smearing. 
* **18:11 Limited Dynamic Range:** The camera's sensor has a limited dynamic range, making it potentially challenging to capture scenes with a wide range of brightness levels.
* **11:45 Low Runtime:** Internal data suggests the system has seen minimal usage, with only 20 minutes of recorded runtime for the green LED.
* **20:38 Availability on eBay:** Both the illuminator and camera are expected to be listed for sale on eBay.

Here is the real transcript. Please summarize it: 
00:00:07 Thank you for watching.
00:00:07 Thank you for joining us. After Monday
00:00:09 Night Football double header from
00:00:11 Houston in Las Vegas, the Texans played
00:00:13 Tampa Bay tonight. The Raiders hosted
00:00:15 the Chargers. And this morning at 7:46
00:00:18 a.m. Our president, who is staunchly
00:00:21 proconcussion, he loves his CTE, weighed
00:00:24 in on the games on Sunday. You know, he
00:00:26 sat up in bed and posted, "The NFL has
00:00:29 to get rid of that ridiculous looking
00:00:31 new kickoff rule. How can they make such
00:00:33 a big and sweeping change so easily and
00:00:36 quickly?
00:00:43 It's as at least as dangerous as the
00:00:43 normal kickoff and looks like hell.
00:00:45  football is bad for America and
00:00:48 bad for the NFL.
00:00:54 Says the guy who wakes up in the morning
00:00:54 and sprays his head with Aquanet.
00:00:58 Truth be told, loudly complaining about
00:01:00 the NFL is what a man his age should be
00:01:02 doing right now. Maybe he'll send in the
00:01:05 National Guard to fix it. And then 20
00:01:07 minutes later, he's on to a an entirely
00:01:09 different subject. Tik Tok. His Treasury
00:01:12 Secretary announced that they have a
00:01:14 framework of a deal to sell Tik Tok to
00:01:16 an American company. Last year, Congress
00:01:18 voted to ban Tik Tok unless the Chinese
00:01:21 company that owns it sold it to a US
00:01:23 company. This deal is very important to
00:01:25 President Trump because Tik Tok is his
00:01:28 son Don Jr.'s only friend.
00:01:32 But Trump loves Tik Tok. He thinks it
00:01:34 helped him get elected. So,
00:01:38 he kept extending the deadline to force
00:01:41 the sale. And now it's rumored that Tik
00:01:43 Tok's assets have been sold to
00:01:45 81-year-old MAGA billionaire Larry
00:01:48 Ellison, seen here revealing his secret
00:01:50 plan to kill James Bond. So now, instead
00:01:54 of the Chinese government harvesting our
00:01:56 thoughts, interests, and personal
00:01:57 information, Trump's buddy will have
00:01:59 them instead. At least it's somebody we
00:02:01 can trust, though, right? We hit some
00:02:03 new lows over the weekend with the MAGA
00:02:05 gang desperately trying to characterize
00:02:07 this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as
00:02:10 anything other than one of them and
00:02:11 doing everything they can to score
00:02:13 political points from it. In between the
00:02:15 fingerpointing there was uh grieving on
00:02:17 Friday. The White House flew the flags
00:02:19 at half staff which got some criticism
00:02:21 but on a human level you can see how
00:02:24 hard the president is taking this.
00:02:26 My condolences on the loss of your
00:02:28 friend Charlie Kirk. May I ask sir
00:02:30 personally, how are you holding up over
00:02:32 the last day and a half, sir?
00:02:33 I think very good. And by the way, right
00:02:35 there you see all the trucks. They've
00:02:37 just started construction of the new
00:02:39 ballroom for the White House, which is
00:02:41 something they've been trying to get, as
00:02:43 you know, for about 150 years, and it's
00:02:45 going to be a beauty.
00:02:47 Yes. He's at the fourth stage of grief,
00:02:50 construction.
00:02:53 Demolition.
00:02:55 Construction.
00:02:57 This is not how an adult grieavves the
00:02:59 murder of someone he called a friend.
00:03:00 This is how a four-year-old mourns a
00:03:02 goldfish. Okay? And it didn't just
00:03:05 happen once. When I heard it, I was in
00:03:07 the midst of, you know, building a great
00:03:09 for 150 years. They've wanted a ballroom
00:03:12 at the White House, right? They they
00:03:14 don't have a ballroom. They have to use
00:03:15 tents on the lawn for President Xi when
00:03:18 he comes over. If it rains, it's a wipe
00:03:20 out. And so I was with the architects
00:03:23 that were design. It's going to be
00:03:24 incredible. And they came in. They said,
00:03:28 "Charlie Kirk is dead." I didn't know
00:03:31 what they meant. I said, "What do you
00:03:32 mean dead? Charlie Kirk was shot."
00:03:36 And they s they thought he was dead cuz
00:03:38 it was so horrific, you know,
00:03:40 and I said dead.
00:03:44 And then we installed the most beautiful
00:03:46 chandelier. You stones you wouldn't
00:03:49 believe. There's something wrong with
00:03:51 them. There really is. I mean, who
00:03:53 thinks like that? And why are we
00:03:55 building a $200 million ballroom in the
00:03:57 white? Is it possible that he's doing it
00:03:59 intentionally so we could be bad about
00:04:01 that instead of the Epstein list? By the
00:04:03 time he's out of office,
00:04:10 the White House will have slot machines
00:04:10 in a water slide.
00:04:12 Trump is in major change the subject
00:04:15 mode. On Friday, he stopped by the
00:04:16 always friendly morning crew at Fox.
00:04:18 Whenever Trump goes on Fox and Friends,
00:04:20 it's funny because the hosts are so
00:04:21 eager for him to be reasonable. They
00:04:23 spell it all out for him. They
00:04:25 desperately want to avoid having to nod
00:04:27 along with anything crazy or contradict
00:04:30 him. So, they give him the question and
00:04:32 their preferred answer to is the message
00:04:35 to to the right. The people that are
00:04:37 going to go, I want revenge, not to have
00:04:39 revenge. Charlie Kirk would not want
00:04:42 revenge.
00:04:42 You want revenge at the voter?
00:04:44 That's where to go.
00:04:46 Okay, good answer, right? take it to the
00:04:48 ballot box. That's reasonable. That's
00:04:50 almost presidential. But that's the
00:04:52 thing. He can never just stop right
00:04:54 there.
00:04:54 I can't really say at the ballot box cuz
00:04:56 in some cases like California doesn't
00:04:58 have ballot boxes.
00:05:00 Oh,
00:05:01 well, in that case, begin the purge. For
00:05:04 the record, we live in California. We do
00:05:07 have ballot boxes. We have ballot boxes.
00:05:11 We've got mail boxes.
00:05:15 We have lunch boxes. We have all kinds
00:05:17 of boxes. You should come see them
00:05:19 sometime. We'll give you a toolbox. You
00:05:21 can live in it. Okay. And then we have
00:05:23 this head of the FBI, this character,
00:05:25 Cash Patel, who so far has handled this
00:05:28 investigation into the murder of Charlie
00:05:30 Kirk. Like a kid who didn't read the
00:05:32 book, BSing his way through an oral
00:05:34 report.
00:05:35 So, in 24 hours after when we were still
00:05:38 looking for the guy, I know you posted
00:05:40 that we got him. Uh, and that ended up
00:05:42 not being true. The job of the FBI is
00:05:44 not just to manhunt the actual suspect
00:05:46 who did the killing or suspects, but
00:05:48 it's also to eliminate targets and
00:05:50 eliminate subjects who are not involved
00:05:52 in the process. And that's what we were
00:05:54 doing. Could I have worded it a little
00:05:56 better in the heat of the moment? Sure.
00:05:57 But do I regret putting it out?
00:05:59 Absolutely not. I was telling the world
00:06:00 what the FBI was doing as we were doing.
00:06:03 Which was claiming we caught the killer
00:06:04 when we had not.
00:06:07 Catch Pat Mattel always looks like he
00:06:09 just got hit by a Volkswagen.
00:06:16 The governor of of Utah, Governor
00:06:16 Spencer Cox, has been a rare voice of
00:06:18 sanity after what happened in his state.
00:06:20 He urged Americans to choose humanity,
00:06:22 connection, and love, and even encourage
00:06:24 us to listen to people we disagree with,
00:06:26 which is not the plan according to
00:06:29 Marjgery Taylor Green. Clan mom wrote
00:06:31 today, "There's nothing left to talk
00:06:33 about with the left. They hate us. They
00:06:35 assassinated our nice guy who actually
00:06:37 talked to them peacefully debating
00:06:39 ideas. Then millions on the left
00:06:40 celebrated and made clear they want all
00:06:42 of us dead. To be honest, I want a
00:06:45 peaceful national divorce.
00:06:47 Same thing her husband said about two
00:06:49 and a half years ago. But
00:06:52 a peaceful
00:06:55 a peaceful national divorce. How would
00:06:57 that work? You get Florida, we get
00:06:59 Vermont. I mean, we share custody at
00:07:01 Disney World every other weekend. She's
00:07:04 right. The right it feels like we are
00:07:06 all stuck in a marriage to Marjorie
00:07:08 Taylor Green. right now.
00:07:11 Uh, I was at the Emmys last night. Gear
00:07:13 Mo was We won best talk show at the
00:07:14 Emmys.
00:07:27 Well, I should say we didn't win, we
00:07:27 lost,
00:07:29 but thank you for paying attention.
00:07:32 Uh, my friend Steven Colbear and his
00:07:34 hardworking staff won it, which is very
00:07:37 nice to see. very welld deserved.
00:07:40 John Oliver won a couple of Emmys for
00:07:42 his show. He is here.
00:07:46 He has he is here tonight to rub them in
00:07:49 my face. But at the end of the day, you
00:07:51 know, the Emmys isn't about winning or
00:07:52 losing. It's about making sure there
00:07:53 isn't a shot of you sitting while
00:07:55 everyone else is giving someone a sandy
00:07:56 ovation. That's what it's about. The
00:07:59 show The Studio set a new all-time high
00:08:01 for a show in its first season. 13 Emmys
00:08:05 and Seth Rogan became the highest Emmy
00:08:07 winner of all time. So, congratulations
00:08:10 to him.
00:08:12 You know, you'd think
00:08:14 you'd think the Emmys would be a very
00:08:16 fancy affair. It really other than the
00:08:18 clothes, it's basically a hockey game.
00:08:20 The traffic is horrible. There are
00:08:22 crowds pushing and shoving. No one has
00:08:24 water. No one has food. This is the
00:08:26 bathroom at the governor's ball at the
00:08:28 Amy. The urinal is a trop. That's the
00:08:32 That's the ladies room. By the way,
00:08:36 you've got Jake Gyllenhaal in a tux
00:08:38 peeing into something designed to feed
00:08:40 goats. That's what the Emmys are. Am I
00:08:42 right, GMO?
00:08:43 You're right. You always
00:08:44 What time did you get home last night?
00:08:45 Oh, like 12:40.
00:08:46 12:40. It's almost 1:00, right?
00:08:49 Yeah, almost 1:00.
00:08:50 You know, everybody's celebrating last
00:08:52 night. GMO works at the Emmys. He
00:08:54 welcomes the winners as they come off
00:08:55 stage. Every year we do it, and this
00:08:57 year we did it again. And here he is,
00:08:59 America's favorite parking lot security
00:09:00 guard, greeting the stars back to back,
00:09:04 back to back.
00:09:12 Oh, congratulations.
00:09:12 Thanks very much, GMO. Do you mean that?
00:09:14 No, really, I'm sick and tired of you.
00:09:16 You win every year.
00:09:18 The reason I look forward to seeing you
00:09:21 so much, GMO, is that what I do before
00:09:24 this is listen to a bunch of journalists
00:09:26 just say, "Congratulations. Oh, that's
00:09:27 great. Congratulations. And I long to
00:09:30 come back here and you say, "That's
00:09:31 bullshit."
00:09:31 Yeah. I'm mad at you. Let's have a spot
00:09:33 of tea. Yeah. You know, enough of this.
00:09:36 Yeah.
00:09:38 This is special tea.
00:09:39 Uh-huh. Is this your
00:09:40 It's called tea killer.
00:09:41 Tea tea. Pink is up. All right. Cheers.
00:09:46 Cheers.
00:09:48 Majesty, rest in peace. Right.
00:09:49 Yeah. So this on you again.
00:09:54 Hi ladies. How are you?
00:09:55 What's up? I love this format.
00:09:58 Jimmy was in your show this season,
00:09:59 right?
00:10:00 Yeah.
00:10:01 Oh my god, he was brilliant.
00:10:02 Can you tell me how is it working with
00:10:04 Jimmy? Because I hear he's a diva,
00:10:06 right?
00:10:07 Yeah. He wouldn't come to set. He was
00:10:09 like saying in his trailer. He's like, I
00:10:11 said almond milk.
00:10:13 And you're not allowed to look at him in
00:10:14 his eyes, right?
00:10:15 Yeah. I mean,
00:10:16 but we got that memo.
00:10:19 This is back to
00:10:20 back to back.
00:10:22 We're going to do a special thing called
00:10:23 back to back to backpack. Okay.
00:10:26 Back to back to backpack.
00:10:27 Yeah.
00:10:28 Back to back to backpack.
00:10:30 So, you're going to put your hand and
00:10:32 grab a question.
00:10:34 Oh, okay. I think I might have got two.
00:10:36 What was the name of your first crush?
00:10:40 Oh, wow.
00:10:41 I'm going to be really honest.
00:10:43 Be honest.
00:10:43 Okay. It was my mom's friend
00:10:45 when I was
00:10:47 eight or nine.
00:10:50 And her name was Kathleen Johnson. Kate
00:10:52 Johnson. And she looked like she was she
00:10:55 looked like Blondie. Yeah. I I got quite
00:10:57 warm down below cuz she was very
00:10:58 excited. I I thought she was rather
00:11:00 gorgeous.
00:11:00 If she's watching right now, tell her
00:11:02 something to the camera.
00:11:04 She passed away.
00:11:05 Oh, she passed away.
00:11:06 Yeah, she passed away quite a bit ago.
00:11:08 But you can look up over there.
00:11:10 Kate, I'm sorry. I never told you, but I
00:11:12 always thought you were dead saucy.
00:11:15 Do you want to grab a question from the
00:11:18 backpack?
00:11:18 Yeah.
00:11:19 All right. Back to back to back to
00:11:22 backpack.
00:11:24 Can I have your phone number?

00:11:52 to talk to you about an organization
00:11:54 that's near and dear to my heart. GMO's
00:11:56 Child. For just $100 a day, you can
00:11:59 financially support a real child. His
00:12:02 name is Benji. And he is literally GMO's
00:12:06 child.
00:12:08 He's very expensive child.
00:12:10 Benji likes nice stuff. And GMO is sick
00:12:14 of paying for all of it. Can GMO afford
00:12:17 this stuff?
00:12:19 Sure. But he'd much rather you buy it.
