Bipolar high-voltage power supply Model BP2592 is designed for electrostatic applications requiring occasional output voltage reversal. It features a wide output voltage range with polarity reversal on the fly, three high-voltage output connectors and output voltage softening resistors to prevent arcing when the cable is unplugged from the unit. Voltage programming is via panel mount potentiometer. It includes positive or negative polarity reversible by user, +/- 30 kV dc (programmable), 300 uA rated, input voltage 115 V ac; 230 V ac, optional. Priced at $4,242.

Edmund Industrial Optics Inc. offers elliptical plate beamsplitters.

Elliptical plate beamsplitters fit into circular apertures when oriented or mounted at 45 degrees, making them perfect for designs where space is crucial. They have a 50% transmission/50% reflection ratio and are available for the visible spectrum (400-700nm) and the near-infrared spectrum (700-1100nm) in a variety of sizes. A high-efficiency multi-layer anti-reflection coating reduces back-reflections. Surface accuracy of
