Leica DMi8 - Safety Hazard Due to Folded Back; Transmitted Light Arm; Safety Hazard at Eyepiece; Safety Hazard in the Condenser Area During Operation

3. SAF ET Y NOTES
3.3.3.1 Safety hazard due to folded back
Transmitted Light arm
If you fold back the Transmitted Light arm, the laser radia-
tion escaping from the lenses is beamed directly into the
open space.
Important safety note
As a safety measure, we recommend the microscope
models with integrated interlock connectors as men-
tioned in Section 3.3.3.7.
3.3.3.2 Safety hazard at eyepiece
The laser radiation that you coupled into the microscope
can disperse from the eyepiece and directly hit the user's
eye!
Important safety note
As a safety measure, we recommend the microscope
models with integrated interlock connectors as men-
tioned in Section 3.3.3.7.
3.3.3.3 Safety hazard in the condenser area
during operation.
If you couple a high power laser beam into the microscope,
the laser radiation, broadened by the lens, that passes the
condenser laterally, can exceed the permitted limit values
for eyes and skin.
Increased laser radiation can
beam laterally past the condenser
Eyepieces
Folded back Transmitted Light
arm; the light output out of the
objective is not shadowed by
the condenser base.
