Preparations for Construction of the Full-Scale Tagger Microscope
Current Work
- Determine an ideal process to assemble components of the fiber splicing unit.
- Optimize and document a reliable, repeatable process for fusing 2mm x 2mm square optical fibers using a fiber splicing unit.
- Work with James McIntyre to develop polishing, gluing, painting, and quality assurance procedures for optical fibers.
A List of Specifications/Manuals for Items in Lab 405
Net Booter Quick Start Pamphlet
Ultra Black Silicone Adhesive (gasket maker)
Completed Work
- Clean and organize room P405.
- Help assemble equipment to be used in the manufacture of optical bundles for the tagger microscope.
Pictures
From Summer 2012:
Preparing for construction.
Just before the shelving was erected.
Construction of the tank to be used in fiber bending.
Testing the strength of the tank.

Here it is easy to see the bowing from water pressure.
Tank with wooden supports.
Tank with support and insulation. Plumbing and hot water testing are the next goals.
LabView Program
During the summer of 2012, Ben Willis wrote a LabView program that would communicate with a NetBooter and ultimately control a heater and water pump. LabView also plots the temperature of water being heated, and plots the changing temperatures on a graph on the front panel. I have added a little to Ben's work, but not much. Before Ben left, he wrote a final report of his work on the program and in the lab in general.
