Hello, everyone.
       Our 405nm diode laser of the ZEISS LSM510 meta confocal need to be change, It have run over 8000hrs during the past 5 years. I want to change it by myself, because it will be much cheaper. But I can not buy the same model as the old one. The laser company just don't sell it to others except zeiss.
       So is there anyone can tell me which kind of 405nm laser is suitble for the zeiss lsm510 confocal? Thanks a lot if you can share your experience.
