All beams should be terminated at the edge of the table, and laboratory doors should be closed whenever a laser is in use. Class 2 lasers, which are limited to 1 mW of visible continuous-wave radiation, are safe because the blink reflex will limit the exposure in the eye to 0.25 seconds. This category only applies to visible radiation (400 - 700 nm).

Class 1M lasers are safe except when used in conjunction with optical components such as telescopes and microscopes. Lasers belonging to this class emit large-diameter or divergent beams, and the MPE cannot normally be exceeded unless focusing or imaging optics are used to narrow the beam. However, if the beam is refocused, the hazard may be increased and the class may be changed accordingly.Laser goggles designed for specific wavelengths should be clearly available near laser setups to protect the wearer from unintentional laser reflections. Remove unnecessary reflective items such as reflective jewelry (e.g., rings, watches, etc.) while working near the beam path. Thorlabs' Enclosure Systems can be used to contain optical setups to isolate or minimize laser hazards. The wood used in our sheet materials is responsibly sourced from sustainably-managed forests. For more information about this, look for the Chain of Custody listed under each product's details. Goggles are marked with the wavelength range over which protection is afforded and the minimum optical density within that range.

Some material may need to be trimmed off either end of the LPCM10 prior to use. However, a minimum of 10.0 m of usable material is included. Please note that the LPCM10 is shipped in a crate weighing over 60 kg (132 lbs) and requires a forklift for transport. The roll itself is approximately 30 kg (66 lbs); a team lift is recommended. If you have a notice board requirement we offer Sundeala. 9mm is available and is easy to machine to the specific size you need. Medium Density Fibreboard, better known as MDF, found fame in the 1990s as the unexpected star of TV property makeover shows, and for good reason. Its machining capability, versatility and unique texture combine to make MDF sheets the go-to material for all sorts of home improvements. Our MDF boards, hardboard and pinboard give you plenty of options when you need sheet materials. Because of the blink reflex, this class of laser is classified as safe as long as the beam is not viewed through optical instruments. This laser class also applies to larger-diameter or diverging laser beams.
