The Long Beam was an upgrade that appeared in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission. It would allow the beam shots to reach as far as the edge of the screen. Without it, the shot dissipates after a short distance. This upgrade also increases the strength of the shots slightly.
In Metroid, Samus could simply bypass the beam entirely, and in Zero Mission, it was possible to skip the acquisition of the Long Beam through an alternate, hidden route.
