Hi,
    Has anyone have the experience of delivering 350nm laser in to a
microscope? I'm planning to use this line for autofluorescence
excitation with a Nikon microscope, I'll use the side-port to deliver
the excitation to construct a custom-made confocal setup, but I don't
know the absorption ratio. Currently I'm worrying about the absorption
from the reflective prism; if the absorption is very large I'll
consider to use the back port.
    Thank you for any input!

Best,
