Laser wavelength of the metrox?

Discussions
1

I would like to know exactly what the wavelength of Metrox is in all its functions, as I have not yet obtained any reliable information on this detail, which I believe is relevant when calculating the intensity of reflection from shiny or polished metallic objects in the eyes and determining the actual or potential damage caused by prolonged exposure or short but repeated exposure.

Since the warning in the specifications refers only to direct exposure and not to exposure caused by reflection.

Thank you in advance for your help.

The Full Field and Auto Mode use laser class 1 what is safe for human eyes and as bad as walking outdoors on a sunny day , and The Blue laser modes using class 2 lasers .

You can find the 2 types of lasers information on Internet. Just search Google for class 1 and class 2 lasers for exactly informations regarding also their wave length.

Just work it out for the longest and shortest wavelength in the blue spectrum, based on the power level of a class two laser. But realise that it is going to be a diverging beam by the time it is reflected, so it’s going to do f all to your eyes that the sun hasn’t already done

It is basically going to the beach without sun glasses . I wonder how many people wear sunglasses the moment the sun enters their Living room. :joy: That’s the power of class 2 laser reflection.

I have a very light sensitive eyes so without sunglasses outdoors no way .. but blue laser light do not really bother me at all , even when it fire up at 65 W while calibration .

And if it do , there are always a cheap glasses for that.

Not to rub it in, but that’s me daily! (OK, that’s a blatant lie, I am rubbing it in :grin:. Look Up Agnes Waters, Queensland, Australia)

According to Revopoint, the wavelengths their scanners use are:

IR: 850nm (Miraco-series, POP-series, Inspire-series & Range-series)
Blue light: 450nm (Metro-series, Mini-series & Trackit)

Trackit use Class 2 blue laser only , Mini series use BlueLight DLP class 1 , big difference.

Metro series uses both class 2 and class 1

Inspire 2 uses class 1 and class 2 infrared laser.

The near mode in MIRACO use class 2, far mode use class 1 infrared .

Personally, the whole point is mute; trying to calculate it is an exercise in futility because the beam is naturally diverging as it leaves the scanner, and unless it is reflecting off of a precision first surface mirror, that divergence is only going to get rapidly worse. You have way too many variables to come up with any meaningful number. Considering we are already working at such a low power, the true output is going to be very low. realise that the sensor in the scanner can see the laser, and you can see the laser, this means that the beam has been scattered, it’s not going to drop quite at the square of its distance, but it will be up there.

The only way to know is to measure it with a detector cell in a light sphere and an opening the size of your eye lens
