That's kinda small/neat for a 473nm

Just followed a link leading to an e-bay seller with apparent good reputation and found this product he is selling:

New Stylish 5mW Blue Laser Pointer @ 473nm True Blue - eBay (item 380177822812 end time Dec-14-09 07:43:53 PST)

Regular pen size 473nm

The seller claims this item not to be a 405nm diode but "pure blue (not violet)".

Does this mean we are heading towards a new era in blue DPSS lasers?

I'm not buying it.. Not because of the size, but because the seller has been known to scam. The photos in the listing are inconsistent, also. The first beam shot is of a 405nm blu-ray, and the second appears to be a 473nm beam.. which is it I wonder?? Too much money to gamble with if you ask me..

FAIL
look at this pic

you can see the violet colour on the left down.
EDIT:it may look violet but this is because cameras have problem picking 405nm light.

yeah righ sure its true blue I dont care what it is thats an outrageas :cryyy: price for fivemw.SCAMMER!!!!:banned:

 

[bryce007]

or that's a 473nm with terrible divergence :crackup:

plus it's still cheaper to get it from the CNI GB.

Also, about cameras and 405nm ..... don't know why, but in my webcam, 405nm beam appears as almost 437 (not so light blue, but sure not violet) ..... probably CCD false the colors near UV ?

Anyway, it's a thing that i've already seen also in other pics ..... violet at bare eyes, blue at pics .....

 

[daguin]

It's a 405nm violet laser

And what's with this pic?

Does it do 488nm and 532nm too?

SCAM or VERY ignorant seller

Peace,

i have my doubts about that laser :undecided:

 

[bryce007]

it's the first multi-line argon/473nm pointer/blue ray pointer of its kind! :crackup::crackup::crackup:

^SWEEEET!

405nm is far outside of the color gamut that normal imaging devices can represent. Cameras and monitors can't reproduce 405nm; how 405nm appears is undefined and is largely up to chance.

^ LOL, true ..... on one of my webcams, it look as turquoise with a dark blue halo ..... on the weird one instead (the one that scramble the colors) it look as if it was an argon beam (an argon in an aixiz module, LOL)

Is there any way of reporting photoshopped pictures to ebay? This guy is such an obvious scammer. Those pictures are a joke.
