Tech/Engineering / Laser Technology
German term or phrase: Eingrifföffnung
"Nur wenn die Arme die Eingrifföffnungen verschließen, ist das Gerät funktionsfähig, eine Sicherheit gegen Streustrahlung"

Part of a laser device. What exactly would the "Eingrifföffnung" be? Dictionaries aren't giving a lot of help with this one, and the word only generates 11 search engine hits, none of which are terribly helpful. TIA for any light you can shed on this.

Neither of the answers given inspired a great deal of confidence, but thank goodness the peer graders came to the party. These 4 points are really for the peer graders - one for each of you! :-) I think I will go with Trudy's suggestion of "access openings". Thanks for your assistance.

agree  invguy: openings, definitely (or something more specific depending on the actual design); presumably these are the openings allowing access for bringing in/fixing/taking out the specimen to be processed by the laser beam
