Notes on Laser Radiation
The Cell Observer SD relies on a class 3B laser device for operation and is labeled accordingly
(maximum 300 mW of output power). Laser instruments must be operated and handled in
accordance with the regulations concerning health and industrial labor protection. Furthermore,
the operator must observe all provisions of statutory law.
If operated conformingly, the Cell Observer SD does not create any risk of radiation exposure for
operating personnel. The following warning notes must be followed in all cases:
Inform your Laser Protection Officer before you begin with procedures for initial start-up of the
Cell Observer SD.
•
Do not expose yourself to the laser beam!
•
Do not introduce reflective objects into the beam path!
•
Never open shielding or covers at the microscope system while the laser is operating!
•
Never look – with or without optical aids – into the laser beam, not even in order to view a
specimen.
Non-observance will cause risk of eye damage!
•
Cover up unused positions of the lens turret and protect unused camera ports with dust
caps!
•
Take appropriate protective measures if laser radiation causes the emergence of harmful
gases, dust and vapor or secondary radiation or explosive matter at the sample.
Keep the laser operating zone clear of flammable and combustible materials.
Additional national laser protection requirements must be duly observed!
Do not remove shielding from the fiber coupling and the joint between the microscope and the
CSU-X1 spinning disc unit.
