4.2 Eye Safety
As a safety measure against direct or indirect laser radiation, it is necessary that everyone
in the room wear laser safety glasses.
When using the laser, only those laser safety glasses may be used which are designed
for the respective wavelength, with the appropriate protection level and a CE mark.
The following laser safety glasses from A.R.C. Laser GmbH are suitable for the
NUVOLAS:
• AS01003: Protection level D LB6 + I LB6 + RM LB 8 / Optical density OD8+
There are different types of laser safety glasses that also allow spectacle wearers to wear
a tight goggle on top of their own which are protective to all sides. In particular, the
scattered radiation that does not directly come from the front of the eye may present risks
resulting from internal reflections on the glasses. Therefore, we encourage you to wear
laser safety glasses which also guarantee a full protection to the side parts.
When using a microscope, either laser safety glasses can be worn or it is possible to
install an eye safety filter firmly into the beam path of the microscope. Please note that
when using a beam splitter in the microscope, the eye safety filter is installed below the
beam splitter to protect all outgoing beams above at the same time. Optionally, it is also
possible to equip each individual beam path with an eye safety filter.
The following eye safety filters from A.R.C. Laser GmbH are suitable for the NUVOLAS
and can be seen as external accessories of the laser system:
• BG06076/ BG06077: Optical density OD5+
The eye safety filters must be firmly installed in the respective microscope and checked
by an employee of A.R.C. Laser GmbH or an authorized representative during delivery.
