3.3 Laser safety
3.3.1 Safety switch (interlock) on the microscope
Two safety switches are integrated into the microscope us-
ing a laser safety kit option. These must be integrated into
the laser safety concept so that the light path of the laser
beam is interrupted when the interlock switch is opened.

Interlock switch (1) and (2)
Interlock switch 1:
An interlock switch is integrated on the Transmitted Light
arm and activated when the Transmitted Light arm is folded
back (interlock switch opens).
Interlock switch 2:
An additional interlock switch is also installed in the micro-
scope, which is activated (interlock switch opens) when
the beam path to the eyepiece is released.
Two equivalent interlock connectors, which lead to the
microscope's interlock switch, are attached to the back of
the microscope. The interlock connector of the microscope
must be connected to your laser beam interrupter.

3.3.2 Screwed-on filter turret cover
As a safety precaution on laser microscope systems, the
fluorescent turret disk cover is secured using 2
DIN 912 M4x6 lens head Allen screws.
(Order No. 11 703 121 630 000)
WARNING
Store the screws in a safe place. Never operate the
microscope when the cover is not screwed into place!
Turn the screws to secure the filter turret cover
3.3.3 Laser coupling by the user
Because of a danger for the user due to laser radiation, the
Leica DMi8 microscopes in the standard version are not
suitable without additional laser safety measures for cou-
pling laser radiation1).
If you are, however, modifying a microscope and couple a
laser beam into it, as the user, you assume responsibility
as the manufacturer of the complete system.
We do not make provisions for your interference with the
device and, therefore, you are fully responsible for the
modifications regarding the adherence to basic safety re-
quirements and laser protective measures set forth by the
European Union guidelines and by the national legal and
technical directives and standards.
If you modify your microscope by coupling a laser beam
without authorization, when determining and implement-
ing laser safety measures, also take note of the subse-
quently described hazards at the microscope, as here the
danger exists of serious and irreversible eye damage and
skin injuries!
WARNING
Danger of serious and irreversible eye damage from la-
ser radiation!
Radiation of the eye or skin from direct or indirect laser
radiation has to be avoided by all means! The laser light
can cause serious eye damage and skin damage!
1) Laser radiation of Class 1 lasers is exempt. Further details
regarding this topic in Section 3.3.4
12

3. SAFET Y NOTES
3.3.3.1 Safety hazard due to folded back
Transmitted Light arm
If you fold back the Transmitted Light arm, the laser radia-
tion escaping from the lenses is beamed directly into the
open space.
Important safety note
As a safety measure, we recommend the microscope
models with integrated interlock connectors as men-
tioned in Section 3.3.3.7.
3.3.3.2 Safety hazard at eyepiece
The laser radiation that you coupled into the microscope
can disperse from the eyepiece and directly hit the user's
eye!
Important safety note
As a safety measure, we recommend the microscope
models with integrated interlock connectors as men-
tioned in Section 3.3.3.7.
3.3.3.3 Safety hazard in the condenser area
during operation.
If you couple a high power laser beam into the microscope,
the laser radiation, broadened by the lens, that passes the
condenser laterally, can exceed the permitted limit values
for eyes and skin.
Increased laser radiation can
beam laterally past the condenser
Eyepieces
Folded back Transmitted Light
arm; the light output out of the
objective is not shadowed by
the condenser base.

3. SAFET Y NOTES
3.3.3.4 Safety hazard above the condenser
The laser beam path between the condenser base and the
illuminated field diaphragm is without obstruction.
3.3.3.5 Safety hazard in the specimen area
The laser radiation is accessible without obstruction in the
specimen area of the microscope!

3.3.3.6 Safety hazard due to openings at microscope
Make sure, as part of your risk assessment, that all open-
ings at the microscope are tightly sealed and can only be
opened with tools to prevent laser radiation from escaping!
The openings to consider, for example: top port next to the
eyepieces, left and right side port, bottom port, infinity port,
connection for Transmitted Light lamp housing at the arm,
lamp connection for fluorescence/connection for incident
light lamp housing, cover for fluorescent turret disk.
The material that is used to seal off the openings has to be
suitable for the intensity of the coupled laser beam.

3. SAFET Y NOTES
3.3.3.7 Note regarding the safety hazards in Sections
3.3.3.1 and Section 3.3.3.2
Important safety note
The overall responsibility for laser safety of the laser
microscope system assembled by you remains with you
as the responsible body, even if you use the microscopes
from Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH listed below in
conjunction. Within the context of your system composi-
tion and modifications, you have to verify whether the
component selected by you from this chapter is effec-
tive and suitable for your laser protection concept.
We recommend that for your laser applications you use
a microscope variant with the following selection options
because the microscope is already equipped with interlock
switches at the factory:
Leica No. 11889086
Laser Safety Kit
and also one of the following options:
Leica No. 11889077
Left motorized side port, 100% and interlock
Leica No. 11889078
Right motorized side port, 100% and interlock
Leica No. 11889079
Right/left motorized side port, 100% and interlock
Leica No. 11889087
Manual side port (100/0), Int.
Leica No. 11889088
Left manual side port (100/0)
Note:
The fixed Transmitted Light arm (order No. 11525105 (with
short cable) or order No. 11525116 (with long cable) is not
suitable for laser applications and therefore is not provided
for these applications.
a) Safety function for the safety hazard mentioned
in Section 3.3.3.1.
The special microscope variants have a built-in interlock
switch on the Transmitted Light arm that is activated when
folding back the Transmitted Light arm (interlock switch
opens).
The interlock connector of the microscope must be con-
nected to your laser beam interrupter, which interrupts the
laser beam coupled into the microscope when opening the
interlock switch or folding back the illumination arm.
b) Safety function for the safety hazard mentioned
in Section 3.3.3.2.
An additional interlock switch is also installed in the micro-
scope, which is activated (interlock switch opens) when
the beam path to the eyepiece is released.
The interlock switch of the microscope must be connected
to your laser beam interrupter, which interrupts the laser
beam coupled into the microscope when opening the in-
terlock switch or releasing the beam path towards the eye-
piece.
Please note that the laser radiation may not be coupled via
the bottom port!
Bottom port
Both interlock switches a) and b) are routed to a shared in-
terlock connector on the microscope; you have to connect
your laser beam interrupter to this connector.
16

3. SAFET Y NOTES
When doing so, note the electrical characteristic values of
the integrated interlock switches in the microscope. You
must not exceed these values by connecting a laser beam
interrupter, as otherwise the interlock switches will be
damaged and no longer function safely and reliably:
Maximum permitted electrical characteristic values of the
integrated interlock switch:
Umax= 40 V DC
Imax= 0.2 A
The integrated interlock switches in the microscope and
their wiring with a laser beam interrupter/laser ensure that
the laser radiation you coupled into the microscope cannot
get into the user's eyes through the eyepieces.
Important safety note
In addition, observe the safety hazards described in
Section 3.3.3.3 to 3.3.3.6!
3.3.4. Exception for Class 1 lasers
Coupling a laser of Class 1 in accordance with IEC/EN
60825-1 into a microscope does not result in any danger to
the user.
The listed safety hazards apply only for lasers of Class 1M,
2, 2M, 3R, 3B and 4.
Note that the rules and regulations of the United States FDA
21CFR1040.10 Class I (CFR – Code of Federal Regulation Title
21, revised as of April 1, 2011) do not distinguish between
Class 1 and 1M. Thus the statement that there are no safety
hazards on the microscope do not apply for the laser clas-
sification in accordance with FDA Class 1.
