MULTIPHOTON LASER SCANNING MICROSCOPY
9.1 Preface
Safety Considerations when using ultrafast lasers coupled to a microscope.
Users operating ultrafast lasers have to observe all of the precautions specified in the Operating
Manual for the laser and caution should be exercised when using the laser.
All users should be familiar with risks and good safety practices before access to the laser is
granted.
Users must not look directly into the laser beam. Direct eye contact with the output beam from
the laser will cause serious damage and possible blindness.
Every precaution should be taken to avoid exposing skin, hair or clothing to the laser, as this
may cause burns.
Beware of reflected laser light and remove jewelry before working with the laser.
Avoid using organic solvents near the laser.
Protective housings should remain in place, when the laser is in use.
Safety signs have to be posted to inform people that lasers may be in use.
