Ambient Conditions
1. Operation, specified power
T = 22 °C ±3 °C without interruption (24 h per day,
independent of whether the system is operating or
switched off)
2. Operation, reduced power
T = 15 °C to 35 °C, all conditions different from item 1.
3. Warm-up time
1 h, for high-precision and/or long-term measurements
≥
2 h
4. Relative humidity
< 65 % at 30 °C
5. Altitude
max. 2000 m
A stable temperature level of 22 °C is ideal for consistent and optimal system performance.

Requirements for the Microscope Stand
The Laser TIRF imaging system is only authorized for use in combination with the Axio Observer.Z1
(431007-9901-000 and higher) stand.
the basic laser safety kit for the Axio Observer.Z1 (432927-9011-000) stand is needed for this.
The manufacturer accepts no liability if the product is not used as specified.
Any use of the Laser TIRF imaging system for laser manipulation in combination with an
Axio Observer stand having an order number other than that indicated in the present manual,
or without the safety kit for Laser TIRF, is not in accordance with the intended use.
In particular, Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH cannot guarantee laser safety in such a case.
Due to the use of high-magnification objectives (e.g.
α
Plan-Fluar 100x/1.45 Oil), it is advisable
to use a vibration protection unit Set up the microscope vibration-free on a vibration-damped
table or on an anti-vibration plate.
Long-term experiments require stable ambient temperatures to avoid any artifacts caused by
thermal expansion.
