Caution Beryllium
The detector has a thin beryllium window. Beryllium is a toxic compound, however, the beryllium
window poses no health hazard when it is intact.
Caution; Toxic Material: Do not puncture, break or damage the beryllium window in any
way. This can produce airborne particles. Prolonged inhalation of beryllium can cause cancer.
Do not allow the detector to come into contact with moisture, or condensation from high humidity.
This can corrode the beryllium window, in particular if chlorine, sulphates, copper or iron is also present.
Contact the local Oxford Instruments representative for advice about beryllium, or if the beryllium
window is pierced, broken, damaged or corroded.
