Fixed Lasers
We also offer fixed laser systems, but these lasers do not offer moveable laser beam features or multiple laser paths. Try the XYRCOS DTS laser for computer-controlled accuracy and advanced targeting features. The standard XYRCOS fixed laser is equipped with the RED-i target locator visible through the microscope eyepieces and staccato mode for firing in rapid succession. The legacy XYClone is an alternative fixed research laser without RED-i or staccato features.
