Dear Balkan,

Thanks for informing us.
We are aware if the issue and communicated about this before.
The argon is unstable at high output.
Only use it at 20% or lower.
In combination with sensitive detectors, this should suffice.

Have fun imaging,

Dear All,

The Argon laser on the SP8X was not working properly last time I used it (01/05). Especially at higher laser power setting, the laser fails to continuously emit. Maybe the laser is nearing retirement?
