Yes, a torch.

Here is a link to the video.

Video

23:30 is a good place to start. It shows his setup just after this.

I had to go back and look, because the video link above is to a later part of the video and I stopped watching after Don said he was putting subjects in his freezer to slow them down.

I think just about any modern high intensity LED flashlight will work to illuminate a bubble, and you can probably skip the Fresnel lens that Don was using. I think he was using the torch as the light source, so the brighter the better.
