ABSTRACT:
A system includes substantial focus of radiation on a focal area, the focused radiation following a radiation path from a lens to the focal area, and projection of light on a surface so as to substantially indicate an intersection of the radiation path with the surface. In some aspects, the light projected on the surface substantially indicates a distance between the surface and the focal area.
