    Ah yours was a silicon intensified target tube, the one i had was a simple intensifier amplified vidicon. It was for a microscope camera originally.

    I had one of these years ago and was able to free the intensifier from it by very carefully heating the front glass plate. It was bonded to the IIT subassembly fiber optic array with what appeared to be epoxy. The IIT unit lived in a home made X ray imager for a long time ❤

    I can't disagree with most of these comments, especially the "Apple-level aesthetic wankery". OTOH, If your health-care team (and mine) are relying on machines like this to diagnose what is wrong with you, or to analyze what kind of therapy is most effective to make you better or keep you alive, I am somewhat reassured at the level of insane build-quality and intricate custom manifolds, etc. and automation of what was probably a rather fiddly series of laboratory tests. This illustrates how much mechanical/electrical/chemical/billogical/optical automation is taking over things that literally affect our life, health, and safety. And when A.I. starts reading our medical charts and talking to machines like this, we are handing over the welfare of human society to the machines. Let's try to not interface things like this to "Skynet" (or SKYNET). 😲

    Thanks for sharing. Helps put sone visual to stories my father used to tell. Do recall a story from my dad on likely a similar device that was probably on phantoms. Was running a training shop with westinghouse rep and the rep forgot to follow all the safety precautions and had the front lens off. My dad pointed out the failure to which the said “no its fine there’s safety on this” as then the laser started firing across the classroom leaving dots on the back wall 😅

    I'm curious about how it is driven on the content side. I read on the project page that it is a real time simulation of a school of fish. It would be interesting to know what software is used, and how the translation between the simulation to a RS485 stream is handled. Is it all one piece of custom software that outputs RS485 directly, or is it something like Max MSP with a translation layer?

    I would have kept the fiber array csmera module whole. Thise CCDs are incredibly sensitive but lower resolution. One way to get a better aspect ratio is to use a scanning mirror with it Did that with a very similar one out of a colony counter.

    Best teardown channel. I used to fix up and modify stuff like this. The software used for biotech stuff is not the best and hard to find though. To get it to work with other florescent probes is usually as simple as changing the optical band pass filters. Was surprised it still had the HDD inside😮

    The channel in the glass is made by drilling with a diamond drill followed by pumping ultrafine abrasives through it and finally vapors that clean and polish the inside then finally vapor deposited SiO2.

    Carbon fiber is used for the dimensional stability. A while back i worked at a place that built large single mode flowing gas CO2 lasers (Eagle 500) and the tube elements with the resonator were supported on a 9 inch diameter carbon fiber tube. All the alternatived were either extremely heavy or even more expensive. When mixed with the right polymer binder carbon fiber composite has very low thermal expansion ❤

    I used to work for a much smaller similar company. Here's the catch 22, these are low volume high cost devices without the designer wankery. Customers come to the manufacturers lab and say, "This is great, it does exactly what I want. But it's expensive and doesn't look that nice, what else can you do to make it look better?". I paraphrase but that's basically what happens. So then you go down the design rabbit hole and end up with this monstrosity, and you charge the customer twice as much but for some reason they now want to pay it. It's broken. Also Fluidigm are probably the most guilty of doing this.

    Well said. In a world where all of these tech startups survive by wowing VCs who pray to Steve Jobs, it probably pays just as much to have a pretty lab as it does to have a lab that actually does something. Pretty funny from a scientific/engineering perspective. But I guess you do what you gotta do to survive, including burning piles of cash for milled titanium bezels.
