Health risks and dangers of use

Health risks
Workplaces with stereomicroscopes faci-
litate 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 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

The ergonomic optical design and construction
of the Leica stereomicroscopes are intended to
reduce the exertion of the user to a minimum.
Danger of infection
Direct contact with eyepieces is a
potential transmission method for
bacterial and viral infections of the eye.
The risk can be kept to a minimum by
using personal eyepieces for each indivi-
dual or detachable eyecups.
