Avoiding device damage
Poisoning due to toxic gases!
In the case of a fire, the material of the camera can give off toxic gases. When
these are inhaled, it can cause irritation of the respiratory passages and damage
to them.
Wear respiratory protection when fighting the fire!
Tripping hazard!
Cables laid across a room can be a dangerous tripping hazard. This can cause
injuries to people and damage to equipment.
Wherever possible, lay cables along the wall or behind furniture. Fix cables that run
across the room into place!
Never open the camera housing!
The camera's CMOS chip is extremely sensitive. Electrostatic discharge can
permanently damage the camera.
Therefore, never, under any circumstances, open the camera housing!
Avoid vibration shocks!
Mechanical shocks and strong vibrations can damage the camera.
Don't drop the camera during installation. Make sure it is securely mounted on the
microscope. When it's not in use, store it in a safe place!
Secure microscopes with additional components!
A top-heavy microscope can tip over or fall down and result in damage to both the
camera and the microscope.
If the microscope is top-heavy or otherwise unstable, fix it to the wall!
Don't touch the cover slip!
The cover slip over the CMOS chip is extremely sensitive and must not come into
contact with bare hands or any other objects, otherwise the acquisitions will be
impaired by fingerprints or scratches.
Remove dust from the cover slip carefully with compressed air. For the removal of
dust stuck due to static electricity, ionized air is recommended.
