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, asthenopia
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 organiza-
tional aspects.
The ergonomic design and construction of the
Leica M stereomicroscopy series are intended to
reduce the exertion of the user to a minimum.
