 Title: optical table cleaning 

this morning with Alice and Daniele, we removed all the optics elements and equipments from the SBOX optical table and started to clean it.
the dust meter count 0 on all particle sizes after the cleaning.

we observed a small part of the SBOX which seems to be oxydised (see picture).

the two previously used mirrors of the SBOX (C23018/7 and C23017/2) were already in their plastic boxes outside of the SBOX.
they are still on the optical table.

we have to decide which mirrors to put in the cavity:

if we don't want to use a "new" ThomX coupling mirror M1, we have to use a Gamma-factory mirror (161185) with T=460ppm for example (we don't have any other FS plan mirrors).

if we don't plan to work at high power in the SBOX for the moment, we could use an "old" ThomX M2 mirror with ROC=2.241m (C1611/11) to avoid any risk of contamination of a "new" ThomX M2 mirror.
