Violet and Green Lasers

Greetings all,

A couple of quick questions..

I see that the Nichia Corporation is producing 5mW 405nM laser diodes
(price ~$2000 with an expected MTBF of 15,000 hours)
Does anyone know if Hoechst would give a DNA signal if excited at this
wavelength?....

I am thinking of adding a green laser to my elite -I would be using it in
time gated mode so I'm not worried about crossover into the green channel-
the choices for (cheap)lasers seem to be between 532nM and 543.5nm -I guess
my question is; would the 532nM laser be good for much or would I have to
go for the (more expensive) 543nM unit

Best Regards,

Arnold
