Laser Safety
Details of the RamanMicro 200 Series laser source are summarized in Table 2.
Table 2 Laser Specifications
Class
3B
Wavelength 785 nm
Power output 250 mW (max)
The RamanMicro 200 Series complies with the requirements of IEC 60825-1:2007 and
21CFR 1040.10 FDA performance standards for laser products, except for deviations
pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated 26 July 2001.
WARNING
Use of controls or adjustments or the performance of any procedures
other than those specified in this document may result in exposure to
hazardous laser radiation.
WARNING
Removal of the protective housing or external panels is dangerous.
If the protective covers or service panels on the instrument appear to be
damaged, turn the instrument off, secure it against any unauthorized
operation and contact PerkinElmer for advice before using the instrument
again.
The RamanMicro 200 emits a focused beam of laser radiation at 785 nm (250 mW max.),
and is classified as a Class 3B laser system.
WARNING
Avoid direct exposure to the laser beam. Do not look at the laser light or
scattered laser light.
WARNING
During normal operation laser radiation is accessible from the microscope
objective lens. The output energy should be enclosed whenever possible
(using an enclosure or a beam attenuator) to avoid unnecessary exposure
to laser radiation.
If you do not have an enclosure, you should use protective laser safety
goggles, with an optical density (OD) of at least 3 at 785 nm, as a
precaution against accidental exposure to the direct or reflected laser
light. Suitable goggles are available from PerkinElmer (part number
L1323518).
