Hi folks, We've got a Coherent Standing Wave Dye Laser model 599. Driven by a Coherent Spectrum. We currently use Rhodamine 6G as our dye, but it does not excite APC optimally. Exciton makes a dye called Kiton Red, which is purported to be a better excitation source for APC than R6G. Have any of you sorter operators any experience with this scenario? It may be a moot issue as we might remove the dye head altogether and use the Spectrum in its place, but I would still like feedback. Here is Exciton's link: http://www.exciton.com/catalogmain.htm -Bob K. -- ************************** Robert E.
