Notes on Handling the Laser Components
The LSM 510 is a laser hazard class 3 B instrument and is marked as such.
This moderate-risk class embraces medium-power lasers. You must take care not to expose
yourself to the radiation of such lasers. In particular, never look into the laser beam!
The following laser types are currently recommended for use in the LSM 510.
1 Ar 351/364 (UV)
2 Ar/ML 458/477/488/514
3 HeNe 543
4 ArKr 488/568
5 HeNe 633
☞
Please contact Carl Zeiss if you intend to use a laser type with a wavelength other than the
ones above.
If used properly, the LSM 510 will not pose any laser radiation risks for operating staff. The dangerous
laser radiation area is limited to the beam path and to a distance of up to around 10 cm from the
specimen. Nevertheless, you should observe the following warnings:
•
If necessary - insofar as specified by law - inform the laser protection officer before
commissioning the laser.
•
Always store laser key switches and, if applicable, keys for further laser power supply units,
where they are inaccessible to persons not authorized to operate the laser.
•
Do not place any reflecting objects into the beam path.
•
Never open any covers or panelings.
•
Never look into the laser beam, not even to simply view the specimen, whether with the aid
of optical instruments or without.
Otherwise you risk going blind!
•
Do not leave any screw positions of the nosepiece uncovered.
☞
Suitable protective measures must be taken if gases, dust or vapors hazardous to health,
secondary radiation or explosive objects should arise on the specimen as a result of laser
radiation.
