I count 13 lines if you include a faint spot in the UV range.

I think I got around 15 with a lot of them being violet/blue and barely even visible to the eye. but the addition of those brilliant 3 green lines is really amazing. a huge increase in brightness to the original spot. I also threw a HeNe OC in the mix and I got a bit of 676nm but I cant get that with all the extra greens and blues.

Heres the beams on a fluorescent highlighter. Sorry for the poor image quality but you can almost see some of the deeper blue/violets.

is the green in the middle of your hand the yellow line?

yes. I believe all the lines that are on the highlighter are green/blues. 568nm is somewhere on my hand

I had one of the 643 KrAr lasers for a few years and I would put ahigh reflector from a whitelight in front of the OC and get a ton of blue lines. I currently have a Laser physics 300 WC that does a nice R G B that's built into a projector. The colors you can get with a PCAOM and running Pangolin is incredible.
