!!! IMPORTANT !!!
Please make sure that the chosen objective
corresponds to the one shown in the software.
If this is not the case, please restart the system.
(Otherwise the pinhole and pixel sizes, as well as the
sectioning thicknesses are all incorrect)
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
LSM800 upright has two new GaAsP PMT detectors.
As already explained during intros, the new PMT are very
sensitive and easy to oversaturate (and damage).
GaAsP detectors are shutting down if oversaturated,
terminating your experiment without further warnings!
Please use them correctly!

    Laser Safety Instructions  During operation of class 3B and class 4 lasers red warning lights have to be switched on manually  Red warning light at the door of the room, containing laser-based equipment, prohibits the entrance  Optical path of the laser beam at all setups has to stay intact and should never be disassembled by a user. Users are never permitted to disconnect optical connections (pipes, fibers etc), remove protective coverings or disassemble any parts of the setups, especially those parts that are labeled with laser-warning signs.
