Well i was @ a little party last night and this guy started to talk about lasers I'm like wtf gas ? red ? HeNe ? SHOW ME THE CANDY DUDE so he took out his laser , here are a few pics i made just to share

75 mW max 632,8 nm tube is about 100 cm long realy super clean bright tight beam

Oh and btw this laser tube with power supply will be on sale soon , not sure if it's going to be on E-bay i will discuss that with the guy pretty soon this month
The laser unit itself is not damaged not used much no scratches and comes from a university here in holland ( the netherlands )

It's rare to see such a nice powerful HeNe.....even at 35mW it's a nice piece of equiptment....i'm sure there are plenty of Hologram enthusiast out there that would give their right arm for one like that.

(I think I may only donate my left hand though)

They are SPECed for 35 after one year of operation, the 75 is the 2X maximum theoretical power for the safety classification. You would not obtain 75 mW TEMoo in that size tube.

So 35 is about right for that size HENE. Making it basically new.

That's a very nice HeNe! Even though it would be my ~18th red HeNe I'm interested!

Even at the right time for me my budget would still be an order of magnitude off.
