some interesting photos

What purpose would all that serve?


EDIT

...........All of ours obvioulsy , but seriously

More insteresting photos ..

When i first saw that I thought 'there's a lot of optics in storage' but looking closer, that is actually a working setup that DOES something!? HOLY CRAP

Nice. Spot the laser.... IS there a laser??

[Banthai]

there certainly is Doc ..... let me take you around the back

Kewl.. I guess that's what all the pipes are for, to help keep hands and eyes from straying into a beam while adjusting stuff. (With all those screwdrivers). Perhaps also to reduce attenuation and noise from airborne particulates. Laser looks like a long HeNe, maybe. Any idea what the setup is doing? I wouldn't mind being the bull in that china shop.

If I recall, that had something to do with isolating Detrium...

Guess that laser!

It is a big ion. It might be a older saber or possibly a i90.

I can't see the back so i don't know if it is a small or large frame. I sent the pic to a friend at Coherent to see if he can id it..

Yes i have too much free time on my hands

any guesses?

"It’s an I300."

I think its a I-90.. the 300's safety shutter hole is off to one side that one looks to be in the center

Still a stunning collection of optics..
