Abstract
A manipulator systemcomprises a manipulatorwhich includes two pairs of adjustment screwsand, which can be used to displace a lens group assemblyrelative to the longitudinal axis of the manipulator when the lens group assemblyis inserted within the manipulator. The lens group assemblycomprises a holderin the form of a hollow, cylindrical tube that has mounted in two lenses. The holderhas a throughbore through which a laser beam may be passed in use. The manipulator systemcan be used to adjust the tilt and displacement of the holder(and hence of the pair of lenses). Such adjustment will cause a laser beam passing through the manipulator systemand holderto have, e.g., a particular pointing direction and shape when exiting the lens group assembly
