Abstract
A laser device for use with a scientific instrument. The laser device includes a laser emitter and a control system. The laser emitter is configured to generate a laser beam for radiating a sample disposed in a vacuum chamber of the scientific instrument. The control system is configured to receive a pressure signal associated with the vacuum chamber from a pressure sensor, and to change a state of the laser beam in response to the pressure reaching a threshold level.
