The ML268 is one of the most popular lasers in our product line and remains unique today as when introduced 15 years ago. It incorporates the best features of full- or lab-sized laser in a convenient hand-size design only slightly larger than conventional pen-sized laser pointers. The laser is suitable for use in lectures and AV shows, transmitting video pictures over a laser beam, or as a lab laser for optical experimentation and demonstration. (Metrologic Instruments produced this laser until 2004. IFO redesigned and now manufactures an improved version.)

It is the smallest Class II hand-size lasers we manufacture with a visible semiconductor laser diode technology. It is very portable and applies to a wide range of educational applications.

The ML268 operates directly from a 110-VAC-to-9 VDC power adapter/charger, or from internal rechargeable batteries. When fully charged the batteries typically provide two hours of continuous operation. The optical beam can be electrically modulated via a standard audio RCA-type jack. The internal circuitry is electrically compatible with NTSC color video signals from a camcorder or VCR, or audio signals from low-impedance sources.* The solid-state visible laser diode and miniaturized electronic components make this the smallest modulated educational laser on the market. A decade and a half since its introduction, this laser pointer remains an innovative product with outstanding performance.

Laser includes 115-to-9 volt power adapter and full-color operators manual.

* With an additional amplifier circuit to amplify/buffer high-impedance audio sources, the ML 268 can also be used to create an optical audio transmission link.

Features:

See Operators Manual for details on specifications, electrical jacks/plugs and set-up instructions.

MK 268 is the ML 268 with an additional mounting clamp that allows laser to be attached to any standard tripod, optics bench or chemical ring stand with 1/4-20 thread mounts.
