American Laser Corporation 60B Argon Ion Laser

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

In today's video we're taking a look at the American Laser Corporation Model 60B Argon Ion Laser. This particular unit dates all the way back to 1979! This is the lab use brother of the more popular ACLO 60X which was famously used for Xerox machines. The 60B has some extras making it an interesting comparison, such as extra electrodes and a tunable HR assembly. What for? While look no more! The Laser head and matching power supply are exactly what you'll see in this video. It's almost a fossil, but not quite yet!
