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.
