We don't really have to calibrate the lens, just the CCD, which we've done. It's more about knowing the true aperture size to know how much solid angle you're capturing to infer the total amount of scatter. For our custom lens tubes this is the ID of the retaining ring.

The Edmund Optics lens tube looks tempting, but itcomes at a price. Thorlabs sells lens tubes that offer a more flexibility than what we have right now, so I bought a few different ones, and also more 150mm 2" lenses. This will allow for more compact solutions and offer some in-situ focusing ability that doesn't require detaching the lens tube like now. Should be here in a couple of days, then we'll be able to enclose the GigE camera in the viewport can with a similar field of view we have now.

I also bought a collimation package for the AS port fiber stuff so we can move ahead with the ringdown measurements and also mode spectroscopy.
