ITMX was wiped without having to move it.
After 'practice' this morning on ETMY, Kiwamu and I successfully wiped ITMX by leaning into the chamber to get at the front face.
Most notable (other than the not moving it) was that inspection with the fiber light before touching showed many very small particles on the coated part of the optic (this is versus ETMY, where we saw very few, but larger particles). The after-wiping fiber light inspection showed many, many fewer particles on the optical surface. I have high hopes for lower optical loss here! |
