Merged NINE consecutive posts
I would have to agree.
More is not always better. Nothing wrong with a 2 or 3 page laser review, but to post eveytime you point and take data at a different object borders on obnoxious. When will it end, after every object on earth has had the arctic pointed at it and data taken?
I really like your reviews, but why can't this one be like the rest where you post the review and then occasional updates when things change with device, like power drops, becomes unstable or dies. I like having a specral plot of the device, but it's not needed to post every plot of how the beam interacts with every item you can find to point it at.
You know, that's the primary reason why I moved all of the nonlaser spectra to their own web pages (and to their own thread on this BBS) -- only spectra of the actual laser diode should be in this thread now. Same goes with the power output stability analyses/battery discharge analyses (Steve at WL asked me specifically for those charts!) -- they too have their own web page on my website and their own thread on this BBS.
On the subject of long reviews, I believe the one I made for the Sonar (405nm Blu-ray laser) trumps this one in the size department.
I sincerely hope my explanation makes at least a modicum of sense here.
BTTT: Added three photographs (one of the actual beam, and two of the beam terminus).
BTTT: Added four photographs showing the beam terminus rotating.
BTTT: Added an expert analysis on why the beam terminus is rotating.
BTTT: Added three spectrographic analyses from a person I loaned the Arctic to.
BTTT: Added one more spectrographic analysis from the person I loaned the Arctic to.
BTTT: Added a photo montage of the beam terminus from the person I loaned the Arctic to.
12-04-10: Added two beam photographs plus an update re: the "standard" "lens".
12-05-10: Added a photograph of the furnished instructional & safety materials.
