Notes on Handling the Laser Components and Illumination Systems

The Lattice Lightsheet 7 system is a laser hazard class 2 instrument.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The following laser types are currently intended for use in the Lattice Lightsheet 7 system. The use of any
other lasers as the ones listed below is not authorized.
1 Laser 488 nm, 10 mW, laser class 3B
2 Laser 561 nm, 10 mW, laser class 3B
3 Laser 640 nm, 5 mW, laser class 3B
Please contact ZEISS if you intend to use a laser type with a wavelength or output power other
than the ones above.
If used properly, the Lattice Lightsheet 7 systems will not pose any laser radiation risks for operating staff.
Nevertheless, you should observe the following warnings:
·
If necessary - insofar as specified by law - inform the laser protection officer before
commissioning the laser.
·
The laser module is equipped with a key switch.
·
The laser module is equipped with an electric interlock at the rear of the laser module (see
Fig. 4). This can be used to connect remote interlock.
·
Always keep the keys for the laser module in places which are not accessible to persons who
are not authorized to operate the laser.
·
A white LED (Fig. 5/1) on the front of the component rack lights up, once the lasers are
enabled to emit light. Please note that the LED does not light up when just turning the laser
module on with the key. Additionally, the ZEN software has to be started to enable the lasers.
·
At the rear of the laser module a port is located which is used to connect an optional external
signal lamp with a green/red LED light that lights up for better visibility when the lasers are
activated for light emission.
·
The system may only be used by persons authorized to operate the laser.
·
Do not place any reflecting objects into the beam path.
·
Never open any covers or paneling (except the user interface described in this manual, i.e. the
incubator covers or doors for the immersion medium).
Suitable protective measures must be taken if gases, dust or vapors hazardous to health,
secondary radiation or explosive objects should arise on the specimen because of laser radiation.
