conditions," which appears Falkowski found that the amount84
of shunt light increases dramatically when glue is used to
connect the optical fibers to the LEDs and photodiode and that
the magnitude of the increase depends on the material used and
its absorbing and scattering properties, with a factor of ten
not being a bad guess. Morrison responds that Falkowski85
failed to take into account the fact that Dr. Morrison
protected against shunt light by using lumps of opaque epoxy,86
citing "Morrison J., MR 257-60, and Inspection of Exhibit 105,
232, 234 (see MR 27[1]-272), Exhibit 235." However, the87
cited testimony does not describe the epoxy as opaque, which
in any event seems an unlikely choice for a material that is
to provide optical coupling. Nor does the adhesive in
Exhibits 232 and 234 appear to be opaque, although some parts
of the surface appear very dark, which could be the result of
aging -- these photos apparently were not taken until after
