I should figure out a schedule of things I need to do.

I looked in the storage box, and there are 7 bundles of sci-fis counting the "To be milled" ones.
I inspected bundles 403 and 405 for flared fibers. I found a few and [https://uconn-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/benjamin_willis_uconn_edu/EUIoW0DQt8xIqY137PP2OLoBlo8F2XHMdCrS_46L4NRGfg?e=bBsRel identified them in a table].
1/30: Following Jim's suggestion, I made 128 paper sleeves for the ends of the fibers to protect them from being scratched when they are moved. If we want sleeves for both ends of all the fibers, we need 480 of them. I want to see how well these work, so I should put them on bundles sometime. I suspect they might not be useful for keeping on fibers in the storage box because they would come off while being put in and taken out. They might be useful at other times, though.
I may have finished polishing the "To be milled" sci-fis. Since Micah used 5 micron grit on them the last time he polished, I started with 1 micron and continued to 0.3 micron grit and copier paper. They look pretty good, though there is a more heavily striated area in the second row from the top, and some small marks that may be from melting are visible. I should look at the bundle with the Carson camera or the microscope in lab 405.
1/31: Since I don't have gloves, just one left in the box, I decided to try out the microscope in lab 405 this morning. I looked at one of the practice fibers I fused and it appears to be only partly fused. I thought I could see a gap going rather deeply toward the middle of the fuse site. That may be because the practice fibers don't have a flat surface at the ends.
I tried to take a picture with the camera on top of the microscope, but it won't even show the image of the fiber on the screen. I looked at the [http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/6/0400000016/01/PSA590IS_CUG_EN.pdf camera manual], but have not yet discovered what is wrong.
