This page describes the KMS310RT (infinity K2 IND) in detail. Effort was started in effort to better repair them
The auto-focus and camera sync features seem to add considerable complexity. I don't care about auto-focus and am unsure if I need the video sync feature (I should be able to deal with it through camera registers). Unfortunately, these add a considerable number of mirrors etc that need to be clean

Overview
Aperture/filters
Main circuit board
Has an FPGA, presumably for auto-focus logic
Chips:
- 74HC14
- MAXIM MAX681 5V to +/-10V converter
- ALTERA EPM5128 FPGA
- NAT SEMI LM1881 VIDEO SYNC SEPARATOR
Beam splitter area
Defective optic: mirror
Schematic: M3
During removal additional damage was sustained/noticed. Its possible the original white stuff (mostly?) comes off. Regardless, this needs to be replaced
Defective optic: diffusor?
Schematic: L2
Above: surface irregularities. These show up on microscope images
I think this is supposed to be a diffuser to make lamp illumination more even. Unfortunately, the surface has warped leading to sharp irregularities in the final images
