Uncoated Silicon Mirror in Mount

[Erin, Daniel] 

Added indium foil to the joints of the rings that are holding the uncoated silicon mirror (see pictures below). The foil fit well when we tightened the screws , and it will hopefully help create a strong joint to hold the mirror in place. 

We also assembled the rest of the front of the mirror mount, adding small strips of indium foil on top of the spokes of the mirror mount, and then screwing in the plate that covers it (with vacuum safe silver screws). Next steps will be to assemble the rest of the mount after we finish the wavefront sensor setup. 

We also ran a fiber cable from the larger table to the smaller one, and I hope to finish aligning the laser into the fiber this morning.
