3. SAFE T Y NOTES
3.3.2 Screwed-on filter turret cover
As a safety precaution on laser microscope systems, the
fluorescent turret disk cover is secured using 2
DIN 912 M4x6 lens head Allen screws.
(Order No. 11 703 121 630 000)
WARNING
Store the screws in a safe place. Never operate the
microscope when the cover is not screwed into place!
Turn the screws to secure the filter turret cover
3.3.3 Laser coupling by the user
Because of a danger for the user due to laser radiation, the
Leica DMi8 microscopes in the standard version are not
suitable without additional laser safety measures for cou-
pling laser radiation
1)
.
If you are, however, modifying a microscope and couple a
laser beam into it, as the user, you assume responsibility
as the manufacturer of the complete system.
We do not make provisions for your interference with the
device and, therefore, you are fully responsible for the
modifications regarding the adherence to basic safety re-
quirements and laser protective measures set forth by the
European Union guidelines and by the national legal and
technical directives and standards.
If you modify your microscope by coupling a laser beam
without authorization, when determining and implement-
ing laser safety measures, also take note of the subse-
quently described hazards at the microscope, as here the
danger exists of serious and irreversible eye damage and
skin injuries!
WARNING
Danger of serious and irreversible eye damage from la-
ser radiation!
Radiation of the eye or skin from direct or indirect laser
radiation has to be avoided by all means! The laser light
can cause serious eye damage and skin damage!
1) Laser radiation of Class 1 lasers is exempt. Further details
