    The postflight photograph was taken in the SAEF II at KSC prior to experiment removal from the LDEF. The originally white paint dot on clamp block at the center of the left tray flange and at the center of the bottom tray flange is dark brown. Since this tray is located on LDEF's trailing edge, no contamination has been cleaned away by atomic oxygen impacts. The pink and the greenish-gray tints on the two (2) debris panels are a by-product of the chromic anodize coating process and not attributed to contamination and/or exposure to the space environment. The light band along the sides and across the bottom of the panels is caused by light reflecting from the tray sidewalls.
