well
sorry
this will sound unusual
and stupid
I KNOW
but well:
i have a <5mW red laser...those cheapo ones, i've had for about 6 years. it fell from an elevator and still lives
yesterday
i took it out of its case
coz i was bored
and pointed it to a mirror
with a completely dark room
no fog
no dust
nothing
it was a clean room
the mirror was clean too
but the thing i noticed
with that <5mw RED laser
was that I COULD SEE THE BEAM throught the reflection in the mirror
i mean
i could NOT see the beam in "reality" like, by myself, i could ONLY see it "on" the mirror....
not sure if u get me
but well
i will post some pictures later so u can see for yourselves
also
i asked someone else to come into the room with me
and let me know if she could see the beam, so i confirmed that it was not me
anyone know why could this happen? i thought about it a lot and still dont know why i couldnt see the beam right off the laser but i could see it when i reflected it on a mirror..
thanx in advance. [smiley=cool.gif]
