[Confocal] Argon laser on the SP8X not working properly
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?

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, D Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPhone
