New Argon Ion laser

[diachi]

My new argon Ion laser is finally up and running, after waiting about a week for it all to get here. Thanks go out to Dave who gave me the PSU and Smogthemog who sold me the tube.

The laser itself is a 60mW multi-line from Uniphase. it has 6 visible lines and is pretty darn bright.

Now for pictures, the quality isn't great because I was restricted to my camera phone, but here they are anyway

EDIT : new, better quality images.
