OPTICAL INDICATOR FOR MICROSCOPIC LASER BEAM MANIPULATION

摘要

An objective assembly for use with a microscope Is provided The objective has an optical axis that permits an image beam to be emitted through the objective toward the eyepiece of a microscope A mirror is positioned at an angle to the optical axis of the objective A laser assembly is positioned on a first side of the mirror for directing a laser beam toward said mirror so that the energy is reflected off the mirror and through the objective in a direction that is substantially aligned with the optical axis of the objective An indicator assembly including a source of light is positioned with the light incident on the other side of the mirror to reflect a beam of light in a direction opposite to the direction of the laser beam to provide an optical representation of the position of the beam being emitted by the objective
