Operating Precautions
1. Avoid direct exposure to LED light source: Fluorescence excitation light (especially violet or blue LED) is high-energy short-wavelength light. Never look directly at it to prevent retinal damage.
2. Anti-fluorescence observation method: When not yet familiar with the operation method, it is recommended to wear 'orange goggles' or 'red goggles' (as shown in the image above), or use the 'light shield' observation method.
3. Avoid overexposure of samples: Prolonged exposure of fluorescent samples can lead to photobleaching, causing the fluorescent signal to weaken or disappear. Use intermittent observation or reduce LED light intensity for imaging.
4. Ensure dark room environment: When conducting fluorescence observation, fluorescence reactions can still occur in normal environments, though less noticeable; operating in a dark room or light-shielded environment can reduce background light interference.
