Claim Text:
1. A laser processing system configured to process a specimen, comprising: a controller; a first camera having a first field of view operatively connected to said controller; a touch screen user interface operative to input user commands and operatively connected to said controller to display images from said first camera, the user input commands comprising touching the touch screen user interface; and motion stages configured to hold said specimen within the first field of view and operatively connected to said controller; said controller being operative to accept said input user commands from said touch screen user interface, transform said user commands into output commands and communicate said output commands to said motion stages; and wherein said motion stages, in response to said output commands, are operative to move said specimen relative to said first field of view according to said input user commands; wherein the controller is operative to detect the motion of the user input commands on the touch screen user interface and then to direct the motion stages to move the specimen with respect to the field of view of the camera, thereby changing the image being displayed on the touch screen user interface as if the user were directly manipulating the specimen rather than repositioning the specimen in the field of view.
