CAUTION
The electron microscope need not conform to the “Radiation Hazard
Preventive Laws” or “Ionizing Radiation Hazard Preventive Regulations”
currently in effect throughout the world, unlike the instruments
designed to produce x-rays.
The suggestion made by the ICRP (International Committee on Radiation
Hazard Prevention), however, clearly defines that the electron
microscope, like the home television set, will potentially produce a certain
amount of x-rays as an undesirable byproduct. From a safety viewpoint,
therefore, it is essential to operate the instrument carefully taking into
account the following fundamental precautions.
