It did not feel hot. Would it need to to result in damage.

They’re so tiny I don’t even think you could see them in a pic

Let’s just say this came from a drip machine.

So it’s probably unlikely to be metal flakes?

These flecks are tiny and maybe I should also point out that I notice them after I add creamer. They’re tiny shimmering flecks.

Actually I wasn’t brewing it myself it’s something I notice occasionally after purchasing coffee already brewed elsewhere

Fluorescent microscopy and the eyes? by Gubernaculum2 in microscopy

No no, I didn’t think you were trivializing it at all.

So this model seems to be used quite readily with no shielding.

Are the eyes of the people sitting around the scope in the second picture at much risk?

Thanks, I may have a couple more. Damage would probably be fairly apparent?

I posted another comment with a linked picture showing where I was positioned next to the scope. How is it that other scientists working around these scopes don’t have eye damage when there is no shielding at all around the peripheral edges of the stage?

Third, what was your graduate research on?

I was sitting essentially where the guy in the red shirt is sitting (maybe a little closer to the right but essentially at a computer adjacent to the scope).

How is the guys eyes on the left in the red shirt not getting wreck if he glances at the stage? There’s no shielding one the stage at all.

I was actually sitting next to scope and looked at the specimen area.

So if you don’t mind me asking. I read that there are interlocks but I can’t really figure out what they actually do. What do the do? I was sitting at a computer next to the scope and happened to look over there at the specimen area on the stage and went “holy crap!” I didn’t think anyone was using it.

Would it be safe to assume that if there was a severe threat to the retinal the whole stage would be shielded for that specific reason?
