Because if we think real practically, when we, you know, you put the cyst view in, it They sit there for an hour and it colors the bladder. We'll get into the workflow in a minute, but it colors the bladder. So when you take them to the OR there and put in the scope, it's already all colored. You've lost your white, your absolute white light.

It is interesting.
