Cladding
The following end-on pictures were taken of a scintillating fiber and a light guide segment under a microscope, after the ends have been polished using office paper. From these pictures, it is difficult to discern any difference between multi-clad fiber and single-clad. The scintillating fiber (light blue-green tint) is multi-clad according to the manufacturer Saint-Gobain, whereas the light guide in these photographs is single-cladding fiber.

Testing a Heated Cleaning Process
This is fiber 13 of Bundle 7. This fiber was placed in steam before the paint was removed with water and a cloth. The paint did come off easier. The first three photos are of the unpainted section of fiber and the second three photos are of the cleaned section of fiber which were cleaned after being steamed.
