Health risks
Workplaces with microscopes facilitate and 
improve the viewing task, but they also impose 
high demands on the eyes and holding muscles 
of the user. Depending on the duration of unin-
terrupted work, asthenopia and musculoskele-
tal problems may occur. For this reason, appro-
priate measures for reduction of the workload 
must be taken:
O
Optimal arrangement of workplace, work 
assignments and work flow (changing tasks 
frequently). 
O
Thorough training of the personnel, giving 
consideration to ergonomic and organiza-
tional aspects.
The ergonomic optical design and construction 
of Leica microscopes are intended to reduce the 
exertion of the user to a minimum.
