Chapter 3 Description
Thorlabs’ Laser Scanning Kit (LSK-GG) helps you to build a customized laser scanning microscopy system. LSK-
GG consists of a scan head and a controller. The scan head has two precision aligned galvo mirrors and mounting
features compatible with Thorlabs’ optomechanical product lines. The controller has a high performance driver
package that consists of a power supply and driver for each mirror. A shielded DB-25 connector cable connects the
Scan Head to the Controller. The front panel provides the interface to control the galvo scanners and monitor their
behavior. The analog control signals from the BNC cables control the position of the galvo mirrors.
The Galvo/Galvo Scan Head is ideal for high resolution imaging as well as laser scan photoactivation. Add other
components such as scan lens, tube lens, and photostimulation lasers to build customized optical path for confocal
imaging, multiphoton imaging, and photoactivation.
