Just to let you know - it seems we're almost go!

We've got a bunch of ultra-high efficiency LEDs from Agilent (6=B0 viewin=
g=20
angle, If max: 30mA  Luminous intensity, max @ If: 18400mcd , min @ If:=20
4700mcd) mounted in a circle pointing up to a white plastic hemisphere,=20
large part pointing down, with a hole in the top so the camera may look=20
into it to the parts below. This is a pretty uniform illuminator, and=20
the red color is almost the same as the oil.

We've had to blow the oil droplets with many needle holes in a=20
rectangular tube, forming like an air shower. This at least lowers the=20
droplets and the illumination, as the oil is almost red, does the rest=20
of the trick.

I'm almost ready for the test setup tomorrow in the client's machine,=20
wish me luck ;-)

Thanks everybody for the suggestions, without you this could not be=20
accomplished.
