It has a single can with the CD, DVD, and blu-ray laser diodes inside.  The outgoing and return beams are separated by a pair of polarizing beam-splitter cubes.  The only moving parts are a lens on a micro stepper motor controlled linear stage, and the objective lens.
It has 1 lens with 2 laser diodes, one for CD/DVD and one for BluRay. It was infamouslly known for being prone to failure, this failure was caused by a mobile "glass prisma" that "bounces" the two laser beams (it works as a mirror located in between the laser diode and the disc surface), after this model the mobile part was removed and the laser beams are separated by using 2 different lenses.
 
I'm not sure what the above paragraph refers to.  The pickup in the photos has a single laser diode can with the CD, DVD, and blu-ray diodes inside, and a lens on a single micro-stepper linear stage.
