Coherent OBIS 488 - 489nm, 150mw-220mw

[BeerHunter]

Hi all,

I've managed to acquire a Coherent OBIS 488 - 489nm, 150mw-220mw laser and all the associated control equipment, including the PC to run it - see attached.
Is it worth playing with?
Being new to the lazer world, I'm of course nervous of such a powerful machine!

Thanks,
Beerhunter.

That's a really nice laser and I'd be excited about it. Fire it up and post pictures. I'm curious about the beam quality.
Did you also get a heatsink with it? Typically these units need to be mounted to an external heatsink.

Yea, seems to have everything needed
