The beam path of the LSM 5 LIVE is completely revised. From the complex cross-sectional shaping of the laser beam through the changed form of the confocal aperture to the novel detector – the entire optical concept is consistently tailored to biomedical applications. Leading-edge optical technology in the service of life sciences, innovation from Carl Zeiss. LSM 5 LIVE

Beam shaper
The complex beam shaper converts the collimated Gaussian beam into laser light with a rectangular cross-section and then focuses it precisely on the AchroGate beam splitter.
