We began this semester aiming to finish fusing, bending, and testing the fiber bundles for the Tagger Microscope before shipping the fibers to Jefferson National Laboratory for installation in Spring 2016. Over the course of the semester, we accomplished much, but we have bending and testing to do before the fibers are ready for use. Additionally, a recent setback requires additional fusing to form a complete set.

After mid-October, my role in the lab became more exploratory. I have tried to continue with the foundation James laid, but now under Dr. Jones's direct supervision. While James continues to work on the priorities identified in September, I have been developing insight into handling the light guides and expanding my research skill set. My experiences are documented below.

I brought a Nikon DSLR to the dark room and photographed scrap fiber segments. I took pictures both in bright light and in the dark with only the laser. I believe many shots of the fibers were very good, however I have not been able to view them on a large screen. I could really see where light was spilling due to dirt or fissures. Using a tripod helped stabilize my camera and the macro lens allowed me to get rather close to the details. I do wish I could have focused even closer, but perhaps with more practice I will get even more detailed images.

Unfortunately, the only fibers I shot were the used fibers. Their damage is relevant, as much of it stems from handling before JLAB installation. However, since they have been treated as scraps, it is impossible to determine what damage was done in production versus ostensibly rougher handling after they were scrapped.
