Allowable Conditions during Storage and Transport
The packed microscope has to be stored in a dry place.
Allowable temperature during storage and transport:
Microscope:
between −10 °C and +70 °C
If a GIS system is part of the microscope, the GIS precursors have to be transported and stored
within the prescribed temperature ranges.
Allowable temperature during storage and transport:
Precursor:
Gold
−30 °C (at least < 8 °C)
Platinum
< 5 °C
< 5 °C
All other reservoirs are allowed to be stored and transported
without cooling. However, ZEISS recommends to cool all
reservoirs during transport.
9.3 Disposal
9.3.1 Disposing of Solid Waste (Consumables)
The operator must ensure that solid waste (consumables) is disposed of and recycled in a respon-
sible manner.
Description
Material
Disposal
Schottky field emitter
Tungsten, ceramics
Used up emitters may be re-
turned to the emitter manu-
facturer.
Apertures
Platinum, iridium, gold
Very small amounts. May be
disposed of in accordance
with local/regional regula-
tions.
Ion source (gallium)
Gallium
To be returned to ZEISS.
For information regarding the disposal of precursors, refer to
the instruction manual of the GIS.
9.3.2 Disposing of the Microscope
The operator must ensure that waste products are disposed of and recycled in a responsible man-
ner.
Refer to EC directive 2012/19/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
The microscope consists of several modules. Be careful to separate the materials properly when
you dispose of the microscope.
§
Materials: e.g. metals, non-metals, composite materials, process materials
§
Electronic scrap material: e.g. transformers, circuit boards, cables
Comply with national and regional waste disposal regulations.
