optical lens
Hi group, There isn't much information available on laser technology
for the hobbiest. Although I'm an electronics tech, lasers aren't part of my forte. I am stuck on finding a source of optical lenses for experiments. Any suggestions for finding something like a 30-mm diameter, 55-mm focal length plano convex lens? With technicians pay cost is important. ttyl Jim |

You could try Messrs Griffin and George, school laboratory suppliers,

Hi group, There isn't much information available on laser technology????????? If your willing to take a bit of a risk not getting EXACTLY what you want, I'd sugest old over head projectors or slide projectors. There are plenty of source for older second hand lens assemblies for cameras that you could probably look into. Also, older laserprinters or photocopiers might be helpfull. I also do a bit of photography as a hobby, and have found some interesting lens, mirror and optical components from these sources. These are actually of quite good quality it seems........????????? Also,??? If your after specific information cheaply about lasers and optics, there are I'm sure some GREAT texts in the physics section of the local library......... )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O(??? )O( ????????????

Thanks Keith and Peter for your input on this. Keith, do you have a
web address for 'Messrs Griffin and George' as a yahoo and lycos search became very convoluted. Peter, I took your advice and went to the Boeing surplus near my home. I was able to find several of the old TV cameras used for survelience for $5.00US each. I am anxious to strip the one I bought to see if it will do the job. The case is perfect for the laser simulator I intend to build. If the lens works then we are off to a great start. ttyl, Jim -- In Electronics_101@y..., Peter tremewen <Ptremewe@b...> wrote: hazelnutweb@h... wrote:technologyHi group, There isn't much information available on laser CUT |
