5.1 Overview of the Laser Units
A laser unit is a base device to mount laser devices. It introduces laser beam to the illuminator unit (the TIRF
illuminator unit, the motorized TIRF illuminator unit, or the photo activation illuminator unit) through an optical
fiber. A single-mode fiber is used to connect the laser unit and the illuminator unit.
One two-laser unit, two three-laser units, and one four-laser module are available. Use any laser unit with an
optical fiber. Use any of the four-laser modules suitable for your application.
* Various lasers can be mounted onto the laser unit.
See “Table 5.1-1 Mountable lasers” on the next page for mountable lasers.
