Abstract

A microbeam laser machine for operating on objects having thin layers comprises a platen (14) which is rigid and undeformable and which has optical components mounted thereon defining a laser beam transmission path (34, 36, 38, 46), an illumination path (54, 55, 46), and an observation path (70, 74, 76). The invention is intended, in particular, for microoperations on integrated circuits and other objects having thin layers.
