A hollow electron lens is presently under study as a possible addition to the collimation system for the high luminosity upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC) at CERN, while an electron lens system is proposed for space charge compensation in the SIS-18 synchrotron at GSI to allow for higher beam intensities at the future FAIR facility. For effective operation of these devices, a precise alignment is necessary between the high energy hadron beam and the low energy electron beam. In order to achieve this, a beam diagnostics setup based on an intersecting gas sheet and the observation of beam induced fluorescence is under development. In this contribution we give an account of recent studies, including the design and performance of the optical system and results of experiments performed using a laboratory gas curtain setup.
