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.

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.
