Hello,

I'm curious to hear if anyone has experience with this setup and can
compare it to the performance of the CSU-W1 or the Andor Dragonfly using
100 mW laser launches.  In theory this setup is exciting because of the
combination of the high power laser launch (1W), a similar emission pathway
to the W1 (but sealed around the disc), and the low cost of a micro-lensed
spinning disc.

Has anyone validated similar emission performance to the higher end systems
(dragonfly, yokogawa)?  In practice what kind of light throughputs actually
get to the objective with this system?  Are there any other gotchas with
this setup?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Did you get a response to this inquiry or have you found anything out on your own?

We have a system configured like this on a Leica base.  It works great!
