ISIJ (HAM2) SPI reflector completed in Optics lab

This week, in the optics lab flow bench, I started doing the assembly of the ISIJ SPI reflector assembly. There were a few stumbles, the biggest being a custom peek retaining ring that looks very similar to an incompatible catalog part that got mixed in with the JAC stuff. Once that was found, the reflector assembly more or less went together as described in Sheon's procedure, T2500318. I think the only thing missing is an accuglass cable clamp, but we can add this later or come up with a zip tie to capture the cable.

First photo is the is the reflector assembly itself. This is where I finished yesterday. Second, third and fourth images are the reflector assembly with the shroud attached. Jeff said we may not use this, but it will provide some protection for the time being. 

Fifth, sixth and seventh images are the information I have for the lens, beamsplitter and QPD.
