3.3 Safety Instructions
for Handling the Light Sources
Caution!
Light sources pose a potential irradiation risk
(glare, UV-radiation, IR-radiation). Therefore,
lamps have to be operated in closed hous-
ings.
Never look directly into the beam path (blind-
ing hazard).
Connect the light guide to the microscope
fi rst to prevent exposing the user to the high-
energy light output of the Leica EL6000 com-
pact light source.
Never look directly into the light emitted by
the light guide.

3.4 Notes on handling laser devices

The microscope is not suitable for coupling laser
devices into the camera ports (refer to Chapter
4), as this creates a danger to the user from laser
radiation.
For use of the microscope with lasers, Leica
Microsystems offers special microscopes with
additional safety devices.
For further information, please contact your au-
thorized Leica Microsystems representative.
Caution!
Follow safety instructions for immersion oil!
3.5 Safety Instructions
for Handling Acids and Bases
For examinations using acids or other aggressive
chemicals, particular caution must be taken.
Caution!
Be absolutely certain to prevent coming into
contact with these chemicals.
