Specific Provisions
Your system was built and thoroughly tested according to our quality system. In order to
ensure continuous safe and reliable operation please observe the safety notices and cau-
tion signs below.
Caution: Laboratory Safety Guidelines!
Before using Metafer it is essential to consult applicable laboratory safety guide-
lines and regulations in their latest versions, particularly those on the use of elec-
tric laboratory equipment, glass microscopic slides and potentially hazardous
samples.
Caution: Operation by qualified Laboratory Personnel only!
The system must be operated only by qualified and trained laboratory personnel,
who have been advised on the risks of operating a microscope and performing
the respective assay.
Caution: Power Point! Risk of electric Shock!
Plug the individual system components into properly grounded electrical outlets.
The cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding (protec-
tive earth conductor). If you must use an extension cable, although it is not rec-
ommended, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs. Do not remove the
grounding prong from a cable. Consult also the safety instruction in the product
information supplied with the individual components.
In case of error there is a risk of contact with life-threatening voltage.
Caution: Motorized Focus Drive! Risk of Personal Injury and Sys-
tem Damage!
On microscopes with a motorized focus drive, do not place your hand or any ob-
ject between microscope stage and objectives, while the stage is moving upwards.
The same care should be taken when the stage is moving downward. You may be
injured and/or damage the microscope in both instances. Please consult the safety
and operating instructions of the microscope manufacturer (§).
Caution: Gas Discharge Lamps! Risk of Personal Injury and Sys-
tem Damage!
Microscopes with fluorescence equipment, used in conjunction with
MetaSystems systems, may include gas discharge lamps. They can explode if safe
handling and operation is not observed. Gas discharge lamps emit ultraviolet ra-
diation that may burn the eyes and skin.
Please follow the safety and operating instructions given by the microscope man-
ufacturer (§).
