Environmental Requirements
To ensure peak performance and avoid possible damage, the system should be given some time to acclimate
if it was stored at very low temperatures prior to setup. Otherwise, air humidity might condensate on the
system’s components, or mechanical stress in optical components may cause damage or misalignment. The
system has to be stored at room temperature for 24 hours prior to unpacking. Opening the top of the
shipment crates will help to speed up the process. As abrupt temperature changes must be avoided in any
case, ensure to open the shrink-wrapped plastic packaging of the component rack only after a sufficient
warm-up time. For the same reason, keep the cardboard packaging of other major components, such as the
Lattice Lightsheet 7 module and user PC sealed during acclimation.
For operation the system must be placed in a closed room.
1. Operation, specified performance without
incubation
T = 22 °C ±0.5 °C without interruption (24 h a day
independently whether system is operated or
switched off)
It has to be ensured that the air-flow of the air-
conditioning is not directed at the system.
2. Operation, reduced performance without
incubation
T = 15 °C to 30 °C, any conditions different from
item 1. and 5.
3. Storage, less than 16 h
T = 4 °C to 30 °C
4. Storage, less than 6 h
T = -20 °C to 55 °C
5. Temperature gradient
±0.5 °C/h
6. Warm-up time
1 h;
≥
3 h for high-precision
and/or long-term measurements
7. Relative humidity
< 65 % at 30 °C
8. Operation altitude
max. 2000 m
9. Heat emission
0.8 kW
These conditions do not include the requirements for high precision measurements. Please refer to the
operating manual of the microscope concerning special requirements.
At an environmental temperature of 22
o
C the covered sample area will heat to about 25
o
C. If sample
temperatures of 22
o
C are required, the room temperature needs to be set at 20
o
C. Note that
temperature control does not include cooling.
