Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems for imaging and ablating a sample. An imaging/ablating device () includes an optical assembly (), a sample stage (), and a receiver (). The optical assembly () is disposed in an inverted position below the sample stage () and the receiver () is positioned above the sample stage (). The optical assembly enables imaging of a sample disposed on the sample stage (). The optical assembly () also enables ablation of a region of interest within the sample. The laser light propagated from the optical assembly during ablation propagates substantially in the same direction as the direction of travel of the ablation plume () toward the receiver ().
