8. Handling note on the LLG (Figure 8)
• The LLG is carrying the light from the CoolLed illumination system to the 3D Cell Explorer-
fluo
. It is fragile and should be handled with care.
• Avoid scratches and damages to the LLG ends (especially the silica surfaces) when connecting them to the CoolLed illumination system and
the 3D Cell Explorer-
fluo
.
• Do not stretch, squeeze or bend the LLG excessively.

Installation and setup
Important Note
Short-term bending radius Rshort > 40 mm /
Long-term bending radius Rpermanent > 75 mm (Figure 9)
To avoid permanent damage, it is highly recommended to
leave a clear and safe path for the LLG from the CoolLed
illumination system to the microscope without any strain
(Figure 10).
Adequate bending radius: about
90 mm in the picture below
