Doing so will void the warranty. If it is suspected that the seal has been broken or if the window breaks, call your local Thorlabs office or distributor. Do not apply power to the camera. Moisture will have been introduced into the chamber, and cooling in the presence of moisture will cause condensation and frost on the CCD, which can damage the entire cooling unit and/or CCD. -
Page 61: Cleaning The Infrared Filter (Standard And Te-Cooled Cameras)
Re-examine once again and repeat the process once, if necessary. If contamination continues to be a problem, please call Thorlabs for assistance. CAUTION Ethyl and isopropyl alcohols are highly flammable! Do not use near extreme heat, arcing electrical equipment (such as space heaters) or open flame! Use only with proper ventilation. -
Page 62: Cleaning The Wedged Window (S805Mu1 And S805Mu2)
Due to the sensitive nature of the no face plate sensor, the wedged window should never be removed from the camera.
