Hi Guys, as promised I'll share with you some quick photos of that 593.5nm unit I scored on eBay.
It arrived safely from Russia and is is great working order. Can't believe I now own a 50mW 593.5nm lab unit to add to my collection.
I will try to get some beamshots after Christmas when I will be then regularly using the unit.
Here is the laser head.
And the laser sticker.
The complete unit. It comes with a Euro Schuko Type F plug so had to get a Schuko to UK plug adaptor. The power supply is complete with an interlock and key switch. Mustn't lose that key. :tinfoil:
And now at least a couple of it working.
Look at that lovely bright amber spot. :drool: The dot seemed to stay TEM00 the whole time which is good for 593.5nm. The dot starts of moderately bright, and after a short warm up it increases to a nice stable bright round spot.
And apologies, a very poor attempt at trying to show the beam in a lit room. The beam is lovely and tight which if you look very carefully you can just make out in some areas of the photo.
Overall, i'm very impressed with the unit so far with the short time I have used it. I'll update this thread in the near future with some more pics of it lasing. Hopefully will be able to get a good few beamshots to share, as well as a comparison with my 589 Spartan which is similar in power. :thanks:
