Notes on Handling the Laser Components and Illumination
Systems
The LSM 880 system is a laser hazard class 3B instrument. If equipped with a Ti:Sa laser, the
LSM 880 system is a device that belongs to laser hazard class 4.
These moderate and high-risk classes embrace medium-power and high power lasers. You must
take care not to expose yourself to the radiation of such lasers. In particular, never look into the
laser beam! Only personnel which has been instructed on laser safety is allowed to operate the
system.
Caution:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The following laser types are currently intended for use in the LSM 880 system. The use of any other
lasers as the ones listed below is not authorized. The values represent the laser power ex fiber into the
scan head for all fiber coupled lasers. Power values of direct coupled multiphoton lasers (Ti:Sa / OPO)
represent their nominal output power.
