You do not need to worry about damaging the scintillator, but care should be taken. Just like treating the TEM viewing screen, you should not leave a focused intense electron beam or electron diffraction pattern on the scintillator unattended. Whenever possible, use reduced beam current on the sample and SAD aperture when imaging diffraction patterns.
