[RASMB] 3 mm centerpieces

[Kristian Schilling]

Borries,

we have used 3-mm-centerpieces and have encountered no focus problems on 
neither optical system.

We are having them manufactured in titanium, at the same source that also 
builds our other titanium centerpieces. The spacers we make in aluminum. As 
a matter of fact, I am planning to have another series made in september, 
so let me know if you want to participate. I will also try to have them 
make 1-mm-cps, but I am not sure they can do it; there will be little space 
for the filling hole. These cps require gaskets.

Cheers,
Kristian
