Notes on Handling the Laser Components and Illumination Systems
The LSM 710 and LSM 780 systems and ConfoCor 3 are laser hazard class 3B instruments. If
equipped with a Ti:Sa Laser, the LSM 710 and LSM 780 systems and ConfoCor 3 are devices
that belong to laser hazard class 4.
These moderate and high-risk classes embrace medium-power and high power lasers. You must
take care not to expose yourself to the radiation of such lasers. In particular, never look into the
laser beam! Only personnel which has been instructed on laser safety is allowed to operate the
system.
Caution:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The following laser types are currently intended for use in the LSM 710 and LSM 780 systems. The use of
any other lasers as the ones listed below is not authorized.
