First off let me state; I have only been "in" to lasers for about a month now.I have bought several laser pointers and laser levels, etc. But I am ready to move up a level to a gas laser. I found this on on eBay.
HENE LASER + Power Supply Lab Tube-Head HVPS Red - eBay (item 180408788718 end time Oct-16-09 22:16:32 PDT)
What I want to know: Is this for real, can I really get a good (working) He-Ne for this price?
I always thought lab and scientific lasers were much higher then pointers. I have done searches here and haven't seen anything this cheap.
Also on eBay, lasers that looks identical to this one are $500 or $600. What is the difference?
Next, what is considered a high powered He-Ne? I have searched thru some of the threads here and haven't seen anything over 20 or 30 mW. Of course I want the highest powered one I can afford. :yh:
I have been doing searches, but haven't come up with any definite answers. Thanks
