8 Decommissioning and Disposal
This chapter contains information on the decommissioning and disposal of the Microscope System
and its expansions/components or accessories.
8.1 Decommissioning
If the Microscope System is not used for an extended period such as several months, it should be
shut down completely and secured against unauthorized access. Complete decommissioning of
the Microscope System should be executed by your ZEISS service representative.
WARNING
Malfunction of medical devices near ion getter pumps
Magnetic fields present at the ion getter pumps may disturb the function of medical devices.
The magnetic fields are also present if the microscope is switched off.
If you wear medical implants that are susceptible to magnetic fields (e.g. cardiac pacemakers),
do the following:
4
Keep a distance of at least 30 cm from the ion getter pumps.
4
Follow the safety instructions provided by the pump manufacturer.
WARNING
Biological hazards
Biological substances may pose a threat to the health of humans and other living organisms.
4
Keep a logbook of the biological substances loaded into the microscope and show it to
the ZEISS service representatives before they perform any work on the microscope.
WARNING
High leakage current
High leakage currents are present in the microscope. Contact may cause burn or electrical
shock.
4
Ensure proper grounding. For more information, refer to the Installation Requirements
document.
4
Do not operate the microscope without the separate ground connection.
WARNING
Radiation hazard due to X-rays
X-rays are generated inside the microscope during operation. This is unavoidable because elec-
trons are accelerated by voltages up to 30 kV.
4
Do not remove any parts around the column and chamber that are essential for radiation
protection.
4
Use genuine ZEISS parts exclusively.
4
Ensure that all local safety and X-ray protection regulations are met.
4
Only authorized ZEISS service representatives are allowed to service the microscope.
