We are currently in production of 12 additional fiber bundles to replace the low-performing bundles from the last production run. Current progress is being kept in the [https://docs.google.com/a/uconn.edu/spreadsheets/d/1AZPVzbwDgBWl5UXUVSnz_8_0yO6rmNUTt_MeylHasTQ/ Fibers - 2015 Google Spreadsheet].

==Summer 2017==

This summer, I (Micah Warren) am constructing seven new bundles to replace old ones in the tagger microscope. The following pages provide documentation:

We are currently in production of 12 additional fiber bundles to replace bundles which are currently installed in the microscope. We found that our light guide fibers were not double clad, but were only single clad. In August and September of 2014, we received a new order of BCF-98 and BCF-20 which we verified as multi-clad using [[Cladding Images|EDX techniques]]. In addition to having a second cladding layer, we are also attempting to maintain the optical qualities best by minimizing strain on fibers by removing some of the fiber procedures.

After our experience with with heating fibers in water for straightening and bending, we decided to change our procedure and use hot air instead of water. The following pages show information about the heating box and the program used to run it.
