Industrial Fiber Optics invites you to build your own helium-neon laser. In this kit, you'll find all the components you need, including schematics and step-by-step assembly instructions to assembly a full size helium neon laser. It can be assembled in just three to five hours. When completed this laser will have the same electrical and optical specifications as the ML 800 laser. Assembly of the laser also provides the satisfaction of building a laser from the ground up, and a better understanding of the inner workings of a helium neon laser. An ideal project for student laboratory use, classroom demonstrations, laser shows and science projects.

Kit comes complete with hard-seal helium-neon tube, printed circuit board, electrical components, switch, fuse, laser tube mounts, transformer, high-voltage electrical wire, 3-prong electrical line cable, durable extruded aluminum housing and metal end caps with powder coating, screws, CDRH laser labels, assembly instructions, schematic, parts list and operating instructions. Does not include soldering iron or solder.

Assembly requires 25 watt soldering iron, electronic solder, Philips #1 & 2 screw driver, 2 mm Allen wrench, needle nose plier, and wire cutter. Suggest some experience soldering and assembly of kits, or assistance from somebody that has.
