Brief description of primary (only) sample bundle size optimization process (demonstrate how thorough we've been) Slit head V-groove block: description, attachment to slit head, ghosting tests final slit density (for galaxy IFUs only), and validation of this choice IFU end-to-end performance evaluation: lab throughput, APO throughput, galaxy data demonstration...
