Abstract
A laser imaging system comprising: a laser diode which projects a laser beam along a first, optical axes; a collimation lens positioned along the first, optical axis for collimating the laser beam; and an assembly for mounting the laser diode and the collimation lens for selective rotation about the first, optical axis and for rotation about second and third mutually perpendicular axes which are also perpendicular to the first, optical axis in order to effect rotation of the laser beam about the first, second and third axes.
