Isn't it great how much its changed! I still remember the LC LPF split. I would have never thought this forum would come out on top, but I'm glad it did! It's so much more relaxed and informative here.

I love that little O'scope. I forgot to use the storage part for this but there is next time. Glad to see someone remembers.

It sure beats my ArIon all to hell for a short time but the ArIon has fans !!!
I've tried all night to get 100 mW from this but can't break the 98 mW barrier Oh Well, it will go back as a 98 mW peak laser ............... Still fun.

Yeah I'll bet that's awesome for a hand held...

My RPL peaks at about 40mW's of 473 and that's bright... I can imagine 98mW!

I hope I answered all the questions about this BLUE laser. It is now packaged for return to WL. This was a difficult but enlightening review for me as I (and I hope all of us) learned something about DPSS Blue.
I thank Steve at WL for the opportunity to "play" with this laser.

Hemlock_Mike, a very nice review indeed, too bad you don't get to hold onto it longer, and another congratulations on getting it over 100mW.

OK, thanks Mike! I'll be taking pics ASAP, as the Spyder III 473nm arrived today! The brightness looks totally awesome! btw, no, your output charts were not in the package, but on my meter the output is great! -Glenn
