Switch on the workstation and the microscope on the main
switch board of the flexible supply unit.
The operating system starts automatically when you switch
on the workstation. Wait until the startup process has
concluded.
If the microscope's readiness indicator is not lit, activate the
toggle switch on the electronics box.
If your system has an infrared laser (MP) or an optical
parametric oscillator (OPO), switch on the NDD detection
unit. The NDD detection unit must be switched on before the
scan head so that the detectors can be correctly identified.
Switch on the scan head on the main switch board for the
flexible supply unit.
Switch on the lasers on the main switch board for the
flexible supply unit.
The power supplies and fan of the system have now been
started.
IR components If your system has an infrared laser (MP) or an optical
parametric oscillator (OPO), switch on these components as
described in the manufacturer's respective user manual.
If your system has a white light laser, set the power switch
on the rear side of the white light laser to "On".
To switch on the laser in the supply unit, activate the key
switch on the main switch board of the flexible supply unit.
Risk of permanent eye and skin damage from laser radiation
From this time on, laser radiation may be present in the specimen area of
the laser scanning microscope. Make sure to follow the safety notes for
operation of the system.
Wear appropiate laser safety glasses when using an MP system
When using an MP system, you must wear laser safety glasses (Order
No.: 158002570). Appropriate laser safety glasses for IR laser radiation
are provided with the system when delivered. During the scanning
operation, all persons present in the room must wear such laser safety
glasses. These laser safety glasses do not provide any protection against
visible laser radiation (visible spectrum)!
