+====== How to check the overlap of different color confocal volumes ======
-Because both lasers are fed through the same fiber, there cannot be any optical beam displacement. According to my records, your system has the latest apochromatic fiber outcoupler, therefore there is practically nothing you can improve: lasers mounted in FCU are always well overlapped. This is a simple consequence of the clever [[Products:MicroTime 200]] design.

According to my records, your system has the latest apochromatic fiber outcoupler, therefore there is practically nothing you can improve: lasers mounted in the [[products:LCU]] are always well overlapped. This is a simple consequence of the [[Products:MicroTime 200]] design.
 However, in theory a confocal volume overlap of different colors will never be perfect. The reason is that the degree of chromatic correction of the objective has its own limits. The best results are obtained by the latest UPLSApo (UltraPlan Super Apochromat) objectives.
