This image shows the skeleton framework of the microscope, with the base plate and top plate attached.
The majority of my work with the fiber arrays this semester related to the design and fabrication of a new gluing apparatus. It is my hope (as well as my experienced prediction) that this apparatus, coupled with the new optical epoxy mixture, will produce results that are far superior to the previous method used for gluing the optical wave guides to the scintillators.

This is a CAD rendering of the new gluing apparatus that was designed and built this semester to accelerate the gluing process.
The "Frontiers" poster presentation took place on April 17th and 18th, but I began preparations for it in late January. I submitted a formal abstract of my project, which was subsequently accepted to participate in the event. All poster design was done electronically using Microsoft Publisher 2007, and the posters were printed on the new HP poster printer in our lab.

My poster specifically addressed the main points of my work thus far in the lab: My abstract, the underlying physics of the GlueX project, my work with TurboCad, my work with the optical fibers, and my increasing use of the CNC machines. It was a total success.
