Green HeNe543nm laser

Dear All,

I am going to replace my Green HeNe 543nm laser tube in our Bio-Rad 2100 radiance system. I need your input regarding the choice of the Green HeNe laser543nm.

1. Should I order the linearly polarized configuration or randomly polarized Green HeNe 543nm? Which one is suitable for Radiance confocal microscope?

2.What should be the minimum output?

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,

Ghafar

Ghafar,

The Radiance uses a polarizing beam-splitter so it is essential to use a linear polarised laser (and to orient it correctly).
