Health risks and dangers of use

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 uninterrupted work, asthenopia
and musculoskeletal problems 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 DM 750
The ergonomic design and construction of the
Leica microscopy series are intended to reduce
the exertion of the user to a minimum.
Danger of infection
•
Direct contact with eyepieces is a poten-
tial transmission method for bacterial
and viral infections of the eye.
The risk can be kept to a minimum by
using personal eyepieces for each indi-
vidual or detachable eyecups.
