Laser aperture locations 

WARNING 

 

 

Laser Hazard 
Avoid exposure – laser light may be emitted from this aperture. The laser 
light could cause retinal (eye) damage if prolonged direct viewing occurs. 
This is a Class 2 laser product. It is not powerful enough to harm your skin 
should your hand intercept it.  
The optical design of the 600 Series spectrometer and the 610 FTIR 
microscope normally precludes this. Always wear appropriate safety 
equipment and clothing.

on the image) and microscope 

Other precautions 

Infrared sources operate at high temperatures, which may burn you. 
Before replacing a source element that has been lit, switch off the 
instrument and ensure that the source has adequately cooled.  

Aperture located directly  
on the opposite side of the 
microscope from the laser 
signal input from the 
spectrometer.
