One of the hurdles to solve was creating a cell that would not pinch the
sixteen.  I tried several ideas but always ended up with some astigmatism
when the cell 'layed back' and took the weight off of the edge of the
mirror.  I finally tried PLOP and bugged Mark Holm a bit.  The results
were successful and I now have a simple cell design to work from.  Here
are a couple of pictures shot through the mirror.  The supports are foam
beads.
