LED Description
Power If the Power LED is illuminated, this indicates that the instrument is receiving
power.
Laser This LED indicates the power status of the laser. If the LED is illuminated then
the laser is receiving power. This does not mean that laser radiation is present
throughout the optical path of the instrument, only that the laser power is on.
Active This LED indicates the status of the laser shutters. If the LED is illuminated then
the shutters may be activated (open) and laser radiation present throughout the
optical path of the instrument.
NOTE: If you open the microscope light-proof enclosure (if fitted) when the Active LED is
illuminated, the safety interlocks will close the shutters.
NOTE: The shutter on the RamanMicro 200 instrument will be open continuously during
acquisition. Care should be taken when scanning and monitoring not to damage your
sample.
