XPS has been proceeded on the 400kW SBOX mirrors M3 and M4 (the initial cavity spherical mirrors) in frebruary 2019. Deposited a lot of particles on these mirrors.
All the mirrors received a Infrared spectroscopy the 12th of november 2019. Deposited glue on the non-reflective face (was used to hold them).
15th of november (2019): The four 400kW SBOX mirror's have been cleaned with aceton and isopropanol.
28th of november (2019): The four 400kW SBOX mirror's have been cleaned with spin coater.
Summary:
Aceton and isopropanol removed most of the particles and all the glue. But it let some traces on the mirror surface on all the mirrors (so there is some kind of grease on the surfaces).
Spin coater removes all the traces.
See pictures. On all the first images, we also see the dust which is on the non reflective face through the mirror. On M3 and M4 there is still the "glue" on the non reflective face on their frst images + refletive faces very dirty because of XPS. |
