Unknown Argon setup

What am I looking at here? This is the first I've seen of these.

Strange looking argon

It is an optical assembly out of some machine
It may be used with an argon laser, but it is just optics

Maybe someone will recognize it

Peace,

I was curious, so I did a bit of searching. It appears to be a way to use your existing stereoscopic slit-lamp examination thingamajoober to safely observe the spot where you are shining an argon laser into a patient's eyes to clot or close up some blood vessels in there.

So, like, you have this old slit-lamp thingamabob, and you want to start using this newfangled fancy photocoagulator, you can buy an accessory that has this optic in it that lets you integrate it into your existing equipment.

Here's a link to what may be a newer version of that system:

That's a nice lil box there :san:

edit: oh, meatball threw up a link too.

my newfangled thingamajoobers could really use one of these doohickey whatsits.

Sorry BShanahan, I'm just vomiting links out today.

Better links than what I generally spew forth :crackup:

That piece might be useful as some laser goggles, a la pince-nez, or perhaps an argon-blocking pair of opera glasses? Optics look like they were meant to transmit as much visible light while blocking argon wavelengths.

where in the hell is my 2 way plebney light?
