Ready, set, go!
This time it was all on us. Alex got us our own table to work at, all the parts and pieces we needed and told us to start building. We started with stacking and securing the stages on top of each other to create the 3 different axis we would need for both the source and the detector. Some assembling was easier than others, but by lunch time we had build our set up and roughly aligned it all. After a nice lunch at Paneras we hooked up all the equipment to the computer and power sources. We tested the camera and it worked! We could see the light coming through so at least it's ready for action. We'll have to wait until next time to see how well aligned our crystal is (which would be absolutely incredible)... or not at all (which is probably the case).
