A new novel way to do near/far burn alignments:
Stick a candle in an apple and light with the laser  it to test your alignment!
 


Faculty Jim McDaniel signing our class "Laser Board"
 
Of course when you make all that smoke signing the board, you have to blow the smoke away from the handpiece lens. David does a great job! :-)

I think he'd like to take this car back home with him!
 


 


We try to use real-life examples for our laser class. Here the billiard table shows real applications of the Snell's Law as it applies to optics - that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection from a plane surface.
Playing pool actually helps one do optical alignments easier!
 


Ooooops !
