The economic forces that led to cheap laser stages which can be used for science never fail to amuse me.
The equivalent, if you were clever and building things from components, would cost many thousands of dollars and engineering time and never be as reliable.

I'm still looking for a replacement for conventional motorized microscope stages (like https://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=30... but for $150 instead of $1500).
