Visual Inspection Photos 4-28-2014

These are all the photos I took on April 28th, 2014. They are of fibers 3 and 13 of Bundle 7. Unfortunately, while I was taking photos I did not note whether the section was bent or straight. I retook the photos on April 29th and they can be found on the Visual Inspection page.

Unpainted

There are photos of fiber 3 of Bundle 7. I started at the light guide end and took photos towards the SciFi end until I reached the fiber ID tag.

Painted, then Cleaned

There are photos of fiber 3 of Bundle 7. These photos are from the long section of fiber which was painted and then cleaned with water and a cloth. They are ordered from the tag (near the light guide end) to the fuse site. This means the photos towards the end are photos near and of the S-bend. It's difficult to see anything when looking at a fiber directly at a face. However, if you look at the fiber from it's edge, you can see some patterns. This section includes the large bend and the S-bend.

Painted and Cleaned Fuse

There are photos of fiber 3 of Bundle 7. These photos are from just the fuse site and the SciFi end.

Heated Cleaning Process

There are photos of fiber 13 of Bundle 7. This fiber was placed in steam before the paint was removed with water and a cloth. The paint did come off easier. These photos are from a cleaned section in the straight portion of fiber between the S-bend and the large bend.
