I've done time in biotech and in applied physics, and damn the gear over in the APh labs is cool as fuck.

I want an optics table for mini gaming.

I want a device that cools itself to -76F, evacuates itself to intergalactic pressures, then heats up a coil hot enough to vaporize gold for...

Well, I'll find a use for it anyway.

A highschool lens-and-prism set is like 30-40 bucks on aliexpress, including a triple laserpointer. Not quite an optics table, but I'm assuming you don't do your tabletop gaming with orange goggles and/or actual half-molten minis?

I plan on counting fringes to evaluate distances for my 40K sessions.

And yes, we use a welding laser to stimulate radiation damage.
