Notes on instrument safety

If it becomes apparent that the safety measures are no longer effective, the device must be
taken out of service and secured against being used again unintentionally. Please contact a
ZEISS service agency or the Carl Zeiss Microscopy Service to have the instrument repaired.
The Stemi 508 Information regarding instrument safety and installation conditions 435063-
6044-008 and the Stemi 508 Short operating instructions 435064-8044-008 as well as the
operating instructions regarding the light sources also must be observed.
Do not operate the devices included in the scope of supplies in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, in the presence of volatile anaesthetics or flammable solvents such as alcohol,
gasoline or similar substances.
The devices may only be operated by instructed persons who have been informed about the
possible risks in conjunction with the use of microscopes and the fields of application in
question. The microscope is a high-precision device that may be impaired in its performance or
even destroyed if handled improperly.
Before commissioning the instrument, make sure that the existing power supply is suitable for
the instrument.
Make sure that the mains plug is removed from the socket before the device is opened.
The devices are not equipped with special equipment protecting them from corrosive,
potentially infectious, toxic and radioactive or other samples that may be hazardous to health. If
you handle such samples, be sure to observe all legal requirements, in particular the relevant
national accident prevention regulations.
The LED reflected-light illuminators and the LED transmitted-light illuminators have been
classified as belonging to LED risk group 2 acc. to DIN EN 62471:2009. Avoid looking directly
into the LED light.
If the device is operated with an external cold light source (high-energy light), never look
directly into the fibre optic output of the cold light source. Otherwise, there is a risk of dazzling
and blindness.
Never cover the open light guide socket or the fibre optic output. There is a fire hazard!
In all cases avoid covering the open light guide socket or the fibre optic output with your hand
or other parts of your body. There is a risk of burns!
