We want to know what dirty fibers look like and how they affect performance. To that end, I took photographs of calcium deposits from straightening and specks from milling on the fibers. Then I helped Ann Marie take more photos. Since there was too much glare on the fibers to take a good photo from directly above them, I shaded the fibers with my notebook while Ann Marie took pictures. Then Ann Marie wanted pictures of light shining through the dirty fibers. She used a green laser. I held the switch to shine the laser and she took pictures. Where there were fingerprints on the fibers, the light was brighter because it was leaking. Ann Marie also got pictures of rust on the fibers.

After uploading the pictures to Ann Marie's Google Drive and discarding some inferior ones, I polished the second bundle of light guides. Ann Marie had finished the first bundle while I was uploading the pictures. I cleaned the polished fibers from the second bundle. Next I put another bundle into a collar to be straightened. Ann Marie and I mounted the bundle on the new aluminum bar.
