Safety Features
In order to reduce the risk of injury due to laser exposure, the Tilt is equipped several safety
features. These include, a laser shield (I), a light trap (II), locking screws (III), and a fiber
adapter cover (IV). Removal of any of these components will increase the risk of injury.
I. Laser Shield –
The laser shield sits above the sample and is intended to protect the
user from stray or reflected laser light
II. Light Trap –
The light trap is placed opposite of the optical assembly aperture and pre-
vents further travel of any laser light that has passed through the sample field.
III. Locking Screws –
The locking screws are located on each of the Tilt sled arms and
prevent removal of the sled/optical assembly from the stage.
IV. Fiber Adapter Cover –
The fiber adapter cover is intended to prevent removal of the
optical fiber during operation and to protect the fiber from accidental damage.
