Health risks
Workplaces equipped with stereomicroscopes
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 uninterrupted work, asthe-
nopia and musculoskeletal problems may
occur. For this reason, appropriate measures
for reduction of the workload must be taken:
optimal arrangement of workplace, work
assignments and work flow (changing tasks
frequently), thorough training of the personnel,
giving consideration to ergonomic and organi-
zational aspects.
The ergonomic design and construction of the
Leica M stereomicroscopy series are intended to
reduce the exertion of the user to a minimum.
Direct contact with eyepieces can be a potential
transmission path for bacterial and viral infec-
tions of the eye.
The risk can be kept to a minimum by using
personal eyepieces for each individual or
detachable eyecups.
