  • 3D LASER ABLATION TOMOGRAPHY AND SPECTROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20180100788
    Abstract: A laser ablation tomography system includes a specimen stage for supporting a specimen. A specimen axis is defined such that a specimen disposed generally on the axis may be imaged. A laser system is operable to produce a laser sheet in a plane intersecting the specimen axis and generally perpendicular thereto. An imaging system is operable to image the area where the laser sheet intersects the specimen axis.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 4, 2017
    Publication date: April 12, 2018
