Ok So I Got Given This Melles Griot Tube (05-LHP-073), it was used for "Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy" In a Lab At The Largest Production Dairy factory in the world and it was replaced Because it was underperforming for its needs,
anyway... it states 5mW Maximum @ 632.8nm i have no idea of its value and it did not come with a free Power Supply, I was told after it was removed they put the terminals against a metal bench to Arc the power out of it before "disposal" so Im wondering if making it Arc could have damaged it or if this is normal practice for all You HeNe owners?
I Have read around the forums for general info and on google also before throwing a thread out here, Sams Laser FAQ was very helpful too,
So as far as Sams laser FAQ states im looking for a PSU that can supply 1.71KV @ 5mA , Now i am wondering if i can supply more than the rated voltage e.g 2.1KV as long as i only supply the rated 5mA, BTW Im Totally New to HeNe
I Have looked on ebay for PSU but without knowing more about PSU i would not purchase one yet
