How to make best use of the LSM 510 and LSM 510 META operating instructions:

This operating manual also includes the instructions for the LSM 510 META DuoScan and the

LSM 510 DuoScan systems.

A few symbols in these operating instructions will help you to recognize the nature and purpose of

information immediately:

The WARNING symbol warns against hazards for the user that might arise when operating the

laser.

This WARNING symbol warns against hazards from dangerously high voltages.

The CAUTION symbol warns against faults and hazards that might arise during operation and

which might cause damage to the unit.

The NOTE symbol will help you to optimally solve your work problem. It represents a practical

tip which will help you to find out which settings and methods are capable of improving or

accelerating a procedure.

The HOT SURFACE symbol warns against hazards for the user that might arise when touching

the lamp housing during operation.

The MAINS PLUG symbol remembers service personal to pull the mains plug before opening the

device housing.

Depending on the problem, these operating instructions will supply you with various possibilities:

• If you want to know where to find certain general areas of information, refer to the following outline

of sections to get a general overview.

• You will find a detailed table of contents at the start of every chapter. There you will see at a glance

what topics are dealt with in detail.

Always remember: The time you invest in getting acquainted with the product will pay

for itself many times over in your application task.

1 NOTES ON DEVICE SAFETY

1.1 General

The LSM 510 and LSM 510 META laser scanning microscope, including its original accessories and

compatible accessories from other manufacturers, may only be used for the purpose of microscopic

techniques.

Laser Scanning Microscopes (LSM) are intended for high resolution imaging of biological or material

samples, whereby in contrast to wide field microscopy the specimen is illuminated raster-fashion with a

focused laser beam and the optical arrangement prevents light from out-of-focus regions of the

specimen contributing to image formation.

Installation and commissioning of the LSM 510 and LSM 510 META system must be performed

by authorized Carl Zeiss service staff. The system should not be used prior to instruction by a

Carl Zeiss representative.

The manufacturer will not assume liability for any malfunction or damage caused by anything

other than the intended use of the LSM 510 or LSM 510 META or individual modules or parts

of it, nor by any repair or other service operation performed or attempted by persons other

than duly authorized service staff. Any such action will invalidate any claim under warranty,

including parts not directly affected by such action. This also includes the modification of the

system computer with new cards, etc. by the user. The use of a camera at the base port of

Axiovert 200 M Combi stands is not allowed for reasons of laser safety. Any manipulation will

result in the loss of warranty of laser safety.

Please read also the notes on device safety and manuals of the microscope, the HBO, the HAL and

additional optional devices, if ordered, as the UV Laser, the piezo focusing device, the heating inserts and

the Ti:Sa Laser.

⇒ As the system is largely operated via menus on a computer, you should be familiar with the

principles of the operating system and its WINDOWS, WINDOWS 2000 or Windows XP graphical

user interface. The respective manuals are supplied together with the programs.

The LSM 510 and LSM 510 META are devices that belong to laser hazard class 3B. The systems

are equipped with safety interlocks that comply with laser hazard class 3B and 4. If equipped

with a Ti:Sa Laser (see list in section 1.6), the LSM 510 and LSM 510 META are devices that

belong to laser hazard class 4. WHO recommendations concerning health and industrial

protection when handling laser devices must be observed. The operator of the unit must also

observe all and any relevant statutory accident prevention regulations. The user is referred to

the safety data sheet provided together with the manual.

labels should be missing. You will receive a free replacement.

Description of labels

Caution: Faults and hazards that might arise during operation which might cause damage to

the unit or injury to the user.

Attention: Laser irradiation hazards possible when operating the system.

Attention: High voltage.

Pull the mains plug before opening the device housing.

Caution: Hot surface.

Caution: UV radiation.

Caution: Fingers can be caught.

The arrow points to the opening where laser light comes out during operation of the system.

Other labels on the system include one of the above depicted symbols and a detailed

description of the handling instructions. See also the following drawings of the system parts.
