1. Laser safety
Safety notes for operating the laser scanning microscope:
During scanning, the laser radiation is freely accessible after exiting the objective in
the specimen area of the laser scanning microscope. This circumstance demands
special attention and caution. If the laser radiation comes in contact with the eyes, it
may cause serious eye injuries. For this reason, prudent handling is absolutely
necessary as soon as one or several laser emission warning indicators are lit. If used as
prescribed and observing the safety notes during the operation of a laser scanning
microscope, there are no dangers to the user.
1. According to IEC/EN 60825−1, this laser scanning microscope is a laser
device of Class 3B.
2. Never look directly into a laser beam or a reflection of the laser beam. Avoid
all contact with the laser beam. Otherwise, your eyesight may be permanently
damaged. A reflected laser beam is just as dangerous as a direct beam.
3. Never deactivate the laser protection devices. Read the "Safety Guide" in the
Olympus User's Manual to familiarize yourself with the safety devices of the
laser scanning microscope. If you find any of the laser protection devices
inactivated, please contact the facility staff immediately.
4. Note that objects (such as micromanipulators) in the specimen area may cause
laser light to exit the safe beam path during the scanning in an uncontrolled
manner by means of reflection or scattering and endanger the environment.
5. Do not change a specimen during scanning.
6. Do not change any objectives during scanning.
7. All unused positions of the objective turret should be closed with a cap.
8. Do not change any filter cubes or beam splitters during scanning. Never
disconnect an optical waveguide.
9. Never remove the scan head from the microscope stand during operation.
Before removing the scan head, the system must be completely switched off.
10. Do not remove the microscope condenser.
