Gas discharge lamps, e.g. HBO 100, emit ultraviolet radiation which may cause eye and skin
burns. Never look directly into the beam and avoid any direct skin exposure to the beam. Never
operate the microscope without the necessary safety equipment (e.g. special damping filters or
the fluorescence protection screen). Gas discharge lamps have a high internal pressure when
hot. Never change the lamps while they are still hot and make sure to always use protective
gloves and masks when changing them.
Microscope lamps radiate a lot of heat which could damage the heat sensitive fluorescence
filters. It is therefore necessary not to remove the heat protection filter when using a
fluorescence filter so that it can function properly.
Avoid any contact with the hot lamp case. Before you change a lamp, make sure to pull the
plug and wait 15 minutes for the lamp to cool down.
Dirt and dust may affect the microscope’s performance. Protect it by using a dust cover when it
is not in use. Always make sure that the instrument is switched off before covering it up.
Covering the ventilation slits may accumulate heat which could damage the instrument and
even start a fire. Make sure to keep the ventilation slits open and never put or accidentally drop
anything into them.
Only authorized personnel should be allowed to operate the instruments. The personnel must
be aware of the possible danger which might occur while using the microscope. The
Axio Scope.A1 is a precision tool which can easily be damaged or even destroyed when
handled improperly.
Never operate the instrument in an area with potentially explosive atmosphere.
Always place it on a stable and heat resistant surface.
Specimens must be disposed of appropriately according to valid legal regulations and internal
work instructions.
When the lamp module (e.g. Colibri) is equipped with appropriate LED modules, or when a
white light source coupled by a fluid light conductor is used, ultraviolet radiation may leak
which can cause eye and skin burns. Never look directly into the light and avoid any direct skin
exposure to the light. Always use the appropriate safety equipment when operating the
microscope.
