2.3.6 Magnetic Field Hazards
WARNING
Malfunction of medical devices near ion getter pumps
Magnetic fields present at the ion getter pumps may disturb the function of medical devices.
The magnetic fields are also present if the microscope is switched off.
If you wear medical implants that are susceptible to magnetic fields (e.g. cardiac pacemakers),
do the following:
4
Keep a distance of at least 30 cm from the ion getter pumps.
4
Follow the safety instructions provided by the pump manufacturer.
2.3.7 Mechanical Hazards
CAUTION
Moving the specimen stage
Fingers can be trapped by the moving specimen stage.
4
Always close the chamber door before moving the specimen stage.
4
To remove parts fallen into or near to the stage use a tool (e.g. tweezers) instead of your
fingers.
CAUTION
Closing the chamber door
Fingers can be pinched when closing the chamber door.
4
Use the door handle to close the chamber door.
4
Ensure not to get your fingers caught in the chamber door gap.
NOTICE
Short working distance
When opening the chamber door, the microscope or specimen can be damaged if the speci-
men stage is at a short working distance. If a BSD detector is inserted, it can be damaged as
well.
4
Always retract any retractable detectors before opening the chamber door.
4
However, in NanoVP and XVP mode, the beamsleeve should stay inserted.
4
Always move the specimen stage to a long working distance before opening the chamber
door.
