Defective instruments are not to be disposed of as ordinary domestic waste. They should be
disposed of in accordance with the relevant regulations.
Samples should also be disposed of in compliance with the relevant legal requirements and
internal operating procedures.
The Laser TIRF imaging system must be connected to the power supply using several multiple
sockets connected separately to installation sockets. Connection via a single multiple socket
plugged into a single installation socket would lead to inadmissibly high touch current levels
(see Section 3.1.2, page 53).
Maintenance or repair work as well as the modification, removal or exchange of components
not described in this manual, or any other interventions in the equipment may only be carried
out by the manufacturer Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH or by persons expressly authorized by
this company. This applies in particular to the microscope system, the Slider Laser TIRF, the
Laser Bench Tower or Laser Bench Rack, the control PC system and the cable connections.
Only trained specialists or service staff are permitted to open the instrument.
Operation of the Laser TIRF imaging system is permitted in closed rooms only.
Please consider that the Laser TIRF imaging system is a high-precision opto-electronic
instrument. Improper handling of the instrument may easily affect its performance or even
damage it and will void all warranty claims.
Microscope tube openings or other ports not used must always be protected against dust and
humidity by mounting the corresponding instrument components or dust caps.
Dirt and dust may impair the performance of the devices. They must therefore be protected
from such influences to the greatest possible extent.
Ensure that the generation of electrostatic charges is avoided by suitable design of the
workplace environment.
The power adaptor for the TIRF Controller is class 1 protected. Disconnect the power unit if
the housing is damaged.
The laser TIRF imaging system should only be used with the power adaptor supplied. The plug-
in power supply should not be brought into contact with moisture.
The instruments are not equipped with any special devices for protection against substances
that are corrosive, potentially infectious, toxic or radioactive, or other substances that could be
hazardous to health. All legal regulations must be observed when handling such substances,
particularly the relevant national accident prevention regulations.
Do not operate the supplied equipment in areas in which there is a danger of explosion, in the
presence of volatile anesthetics or flammable solvents, such as alcohol, benzene, etc.
Keep combustible and highly flammable materials away from the laser beam.
