So I bought this on eBay the other day. (It called to me!):

(There was a Melles 10mW HeNe on the top)

....More pictures

My theory is that it was used for scanning DNA slides. (...actually, I stole that theory from 300Evil.)

Anybody hazard to guess what any of these components might fetch on eBay?

It's some type of holographic device judging by the disk inside.

Possibly a Fabry Perot device.

To the uninformed: most definately a flux capacitor!

No idea, but it looks cool and advanced!
I have my own "flux capacitor"-device coming in a few weeks, a friend found it in the tech-dumpster at a big hospital, it looks like som kind of laser scanner...11kg's worth of mystery optics and medical lasers...I'll report when I open it!

It looks remarkably like a Singer sewing machine to me.

I was thinking about bidding on that, too!!

I had no idea what it was either... but it looked neat

It looks like it could be an OLD projector, with built in diffraction grating wheel.

Revision Z, wow I hope they got it right that time.. whatever it is

What patterns does that disc make? I see an AOM for scanning on the disc, too.
