How to Measure Laser Accuracy

Nobody wants to deal with a laser that is prone to misfiring or inaccurate emissions, as it can destroy the credibility of scientific research while possibly placing individuals at risk. Perform a simple calibration test of your laser to ensure that it is firing on target, allowing you to visually measure whether your laser is equipped with the dead-eye accuracy of a real gunslinger.
