Abstract
A laser system includes a collimator configured to output a collimated laser beam, a support member to which the collimator is mounted, and a linear rail along which the support member is movable in a first dimension such that the collimator, mounted to the support member, and the collimated laser beam, outputted from the collimator, are movable in the first dimension. The laser system further includes a lens positioned downstream of the collimator and configured to direct the collimated laser beam to a target location on a specimen.
Claims21
A laser system, comprising:
- a collimator configured to output a collimated laser beam;
- a support member to which the collimator is mounted;
- a linear rail along which the support member is movable in a first dimension such that the collimator, mounted to the support member, and the collimated laser beam, outputted from the collimator, are movable in the first dimension;
- and
- a lens positioned downstream of the collimator and configured to direct the collimated laser beam to a target location on a specimen.
A method of ablating a structure on a specimen, the method comprising:
- moving a support member in a first dimension along a linear rail, the support member carrying a collimator outputting a collimated laser beam;
- and
- using a lens positioned downstream of the collimator, directing the collimated laser beam to a target location on a specimen.
