We've got a FacStar Plus with a water cooled laser.  The unit is NOT
assembled.  We are considering getting it online with an upgrade from the
folks at Cytomation.  However, I really need to put an aircooled laser on
this unit.  A renovation for water would be a major undertaking.  Would it
be possible to do this.  Would I need to swap out tips?  I figure somebody
out there has done this before.  I have zero experience with the FacStar.
if it can't be done, what is the situation these days with chillers?
I haven't been around a chiller in over 10 years.  I imagine that

they've changed a bit too.

so in a nutshell, can I make the switch to an aircooled laser.  if not who makes a good quiet chiller?

thanks all,


Chris
