    Is the Galileo worth it?

    Thanks, I think that I'll take the offer! How much do you want? It would be fine if you set it at 8mW, as I don't really need real power for what I'm doing. When you say Would a 8mW still be recommended for presentations? If not, that's okay, because I can always buy a cheepie at staples or...

    Is the Galileo worth it?

    Another question: I have heard that something like a 20mW can really damage your eye, even though it's still "low power" in the real world of lasers. What are the risks of a 10mW, which is what you say you will probably set it at?

    Is the Galileo worth it?

    Sure, I like to save things that would otherwise be sitting in spare parts boxes! :D (An adjustable would be great!) How much would you want for it, and what would the benefits of that laser be, vs the Galileo? I'm considering this a possibility...

    Don't bother with Radio Shack if you need capacitors

    Har har! Long live DigiKey!

    Don't bother with Radio Shack if you need capacitors

    I think that it's really sad how radio shack, where I live, in Vermont, only has this little bin at the back of the store where all the resistors / relays / capacitors go. The problem with the modern world sometimes is a lot more people are interested in buying electronics than there are...

    Is the Galileo worth it?

    I wouldn't want to do anything to the Galileo that would be taking a chance, especially since it's $90. However, do you think that lens alignment could be used to sharpen up the diffraction? Or would that be too risky, especially because of my inexperience in lasers? I looked at the X-15, from...

    Is the Galileo worth it?

    Thanks, and I know that the Galileo has a weakish beam (It's a 5mW, for crying out loud,) and that's alright. However, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good 8mw laser, or something like that; better power, but not quite enough to be "dangerous". Everywhere I look, I haven't been able to...

    Is the Galileo worth it?

    Am I posting this in the right place? I'm new here... Anyway, I need a good green laser for experiments, like diffraction, and random things with semi-silver mirrors. :D So my friends don't blind me when they find "my new laser 0.01mW laser pointer," I would want something no more than 8mW...

    <1.0 mRad too good to be true?

    Does anyone out there know what the beam divergence of a Galileo Laser (from Laser Glow) is, vs. a Lyra? I think that the Galileo will be my first laser! Thanks

    <1.0 mRad too good to be true?

    I'm getting a Galileo Laser Glow laser (5mW). It costs $90... But it is supposed to be good quality. I would like to know exactly what the divergence is. Does anyone know exactly what the beam divergence is, or how it is compared to a Lyra? Thanks
