Health Risks and Dangers of Use

Health Risks
Workplaces with microscopes facili-
tate and improve the viewing task, but
they also impose high demands on the eyes
and hand muscles of the user. Depending on
the duration of uninterrupted work at such a
workplace, impaired vision and problems with
the musculoskeletal system may occur. For this
reason, appropriate measures for reduction of
the workload must be taken:
Optimum workplace layout
Ϙ
Frequent changes of activity
Ϙ
Thorough training of the personnel, giving
Ϙ
consideration to ergonomic and organiza-
tional aspects
Leica DM300
The ergonomic optical design and construction
of the Leica microscopes are intended to reduce
the exertion of the user to a minimum.
Danger of Infection
Direct contact with eyepieces can be a
potential transmission path for bacterial
and viral infections of the eye.
The risk can be minimized by the use of
personal eyecups.
