    Default Is X or Y mirror first to receive laser light

    I'm making a fixture to hold the laser near the galvos.. Which mirror should first receive the light X or Y?

    The X mirror (typically the lower one) is the one you aim for.

    Some scan sets have different sized mirrors for x and y. And as stated, usually x first, however not required. I fashioned a mobolazer turret with an x/y scan pair in it and in that case, y gets hit first...
