Industrial Fiber Optics' CT Series of lasers are the most popular line of lasers used in middle and high schools in the United States. Designed for education, and featuring a bright blue transparent enclosure, their attractive looks invite students to participate and explore in optical and laser technology while seeing the laser's internal "working" components. With a complete set of features and long warranty, it is a product that is hard to surpass.

The IF HN05 is the very basic helium-neon CDRH Class II rated laser. It is useful in most educational curriculums as a beginning tool for exploring/experimenting in laser and optical technology. It is the lowest powered and most economical laser we offer. (.5 mW of laser power is adequate for most basic optical experiments as long as there is not excessive sunlight in the room.)

The CT Series lasers were designed for use in education. They are not an engineering product or design being sold for educational purposes. From the initial concept everything about the attractive, safe design was to interest students in technology. It includes safety features such as 110 VAC to low voltage power adapters, tamper-resistant screws, impact resistant acrylic enclosure, easily locatable bright red laser shutter, bright and very durable nickel-plated laser aperture, industry standard electrical connections and tripod mount.
