Solo XT PIV lasers are rugged, compact, dual laser head systems designed to provide a highly uniform, pulsed green light source for Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) applications. They are ideally suited for most liquid and many air-based PIV experiments. Their small size and single power supply provide excellent flexibility in setting up such experiments.

Solo XT PIV lasers are designed with an I-beam construction that provides an extremely stiff and rugged laser platform. This rugged platform insures stable, uniform performance across a wide range of PIV applications. The Solo XT's may be upgraded to accommodate UV harmonics for performing PIV/LIF experiments.
