Ann, et al.: I hope your CASIX unit is working out. I was not aware that Flow neededed such high power in the green. Ann are you running it at full power? We have some used Uniphase u greens for flow use. There powers are ( 3 seperate models) 10 mW, 20 mW and 50 mW. The 10's and 20's are up to full power. I mention this because we are unsure as to the lifetimes these are used. The seem to be in great shape. They should be several thousand less than the new CASIX, but as a side note, these are some of the best green 532 nm available. New cost on these units is ~ $4K for about 5mW- it goes way up from there.
