A method of verifying a laser scan at a predetermined location within an object includes imaging at least a portion of the object, the resulting image comprising the predetermined location； identifying the predetermined location in the image, thereby establishing an expected scan location of the laser scan in the image； performing a laser scan on the object by scanning a focal point of the laser beam in a scanned area； detecting a luminescence from the scanned area and identifying an actual scanned location within the image based on the detected luminescence； and determining whether the difference between the actual scanned location and the expected scan location is within a threshold value.
