trying to de-bayer this old digicam. got to the bare sensor and took off the IR filter but now i'm stuck because there's a layer of glass fused with the package

removing the bayer-filter which is how cameras sense color (the pixels are all the same, the sensor just has a layer on top that only lets one color though for each pixel)
it vastly improves image quality and sharpness but you obviously only get monochrome images
And apparently it's not only a big headache but you end up with no Aspirin for it! 😜
