Getting down
to 0.08mm is going to be interesting, what with
beam-scatter and fluorescence. And I really don't like the idea of
using a focus-finder to set it up... viewing a laser through a
magnifying lens seems like a really dumb idea to me, even with
safety goggles.
This is something that I'd probably try to use a video camera with a
good macro lens and appropriate filter to adjust, so that you don't have
to worry about directly viewing the laser beam.
But are replaceemnt CCD sensors for most video cameras any easier to find
than replacement eyes?
