Acquisition System Laser Kits

For enhanced spectral coverage and flexibility, the acquisition system supports up to four integrated pulsed lasers and allows the use of external illumination sources. All laser kits, which can be added to your system as required, include a light source, laser driver, and filters. Laser kits are usually installed during manufacturing, but can also be added on-site.
