-- Hello:

I am the person in charge of a Microscopy Facility. The Occupational Risks Department in our University came to check the hazards of the confocal microscopes (lasers). They told us to use some kind of glasses (for me when I have to check lasers) and to put a window around the confocal for users protection against lasers. 

I contacted one company (Lasing), but it is difficult to find something suitable for all the laser lines (range between 405 and 635). There are several kind of glasses and you can buy a few to cover the range. Regarding windows, I only found one that protects between 315 and 540.

Can you help me with this? Do you have references I can contact?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Katherina
