Dear all, I am considering adding a 352 nm laser to our Vantage sorter. To avoid doing some expensive mistake, I would be happy to hear from others who may have done this. Questions I am considering: Our Vantage is equipped with an Enterprise and a 633 HeNe. I am considering putting the 532 on the 3rd laser bench and mirror it into the 633nm beampath with a dichroic (I will not be using the 633 and 532 simultaneously). Problems with this setup? Alternative setups? What power should I aim for? More is usually always better, but would 100 or even 50 mW suffice? What beam diameter is best? The SP127 HeNe has a beam dia of 1.25mm. How important is it to match this? What supplier have others used? Besides the well-known makers, there are several companies making 532 lasers with respectable power, and specs, at decidely lower prices. Has anybody tried such a "budget" alternative? Any feedback is welcome!
