The Colibri.2 illumination system is usually attached to the microscope stand.
Depending on the design of the microscope, the risk for the user must be assessed as being markedly
lower then.
When it comes to the intended use of the Axio Examiner microscope with Colibri.2, for example, the risk
status of the overall system is downgraded to LED risk group 2 according to DIN EN 62471:2009.
The Colibri.2 illumination system including its original accessories may only be used for the purposes
described in this operating manual.
Particular attention must be paid to the following notes:
Use the illumination system for Carl Zeiss microscopes only.
The manufacturer cannot assume liability for any other applications, including that of individual
modules or single parts. This also applies to any service or repair work that is not carried out by
authorized service personnel. All warranty claims shall be forfeited.
To ensure safe operation of the illumination system in connection with the microscope, please
pay attention to the operating manual of the microscope.
Do not operate the Colibri.2 illumination system in explosion-prone areas.
Keep combustible and easily inflammable materials away from the light beam and its
surroundings.
The Colibri.2 illumination system is not equipped with any special devices for protection from
substances that are corrosive, potentially infectious, toxic, radioactive, or other substances that
could be hazardous to health. When handling such substances make sure that all legal
regulations, particularly the relevant national accident prevention regulations, are observed.
The power plug of the control unit must be inserted in an outlet featuring a grounding (earth)
contact. The grounding effect must not be made ineffective by an extension cable that does
not have a protective ground wire.
When protection measures are found to be no longer effective, the instrument must be
switched off and safeguarded against inadvertent operation. For repair please contact the Carl
Zeiss Microscopy Service in Germany (see page 40) or your local Carl Zeiss representative.
