Full risk assessment and SOPs completed 1 August 2019 by Erika Dona, Nick Barry and Greg Jefferis. See [[equipment:multiphoton:start#safety|2P Safety]] for links.

====== Safety Considerations ======

The 2P system is custom-built but is designed to be treated as a closed-box system for laser safety purposes equivalent to a regular commercial confocal.

  * Do not attempt to use the system without basic training (from Erika, Istvan, or Greg)
  * Please review the [[http://intranet.lmb.internal/support-services/health-and-safety/radiation/lasers/|basic laser safety information]] and also the [[equipment:multiphoton:2p_risk_assessment]] with Greg
  * Only users have been trained in the [[protocols:aligning_the_2p_laser|laser alignment procedure]] and attended the university Class IV laser safety course may
    * open the system bolted enclosure covering the laser pathway on the table 
    * align the laser
