Emission Warning Indicators
The operational readiness of lasers is signaled by an emission warning indicator.
WARNING
The emission warning indicator on the supply unit is connected to the master key switch. If this is
illuminated, there is the possibility of laser radiation in the specimen plane. If the master key switch is
in the "off" position, the emission warning indicator on the supply unit goes out.
The emission warning indicator is located on the supply unit above the key switch, and it lights up in
yellow (for compact supply units, see Figure 15, for flexible supply units see Figure 16).

Possible risk of permanent eye and skin damage from laser
radiation in the specimen plane
As soon as the emission warning indicator of the lasers is lit, it is
possible from a functional standpoint that laser radiation is present in
the specimen area.
