Leica M Stereomicroscopes – Operation
Ergonomics, viewing height
• Pay great attention when setting up your stereomicroscope.
You will only benefit fully from the outstanding optical and
ergonomic advantages of the instrument if you set it up
precisely in accordance with the directions already given.
• For fatigue-free work, use the ErgoModules™.
• Arrange your workplace as well as possible, and pay
attention to the heights of chair and table.
• When sitting, use the entire seat area and also the back
support of the chair.
• Support your forearms.
• During work breaks, stand up and move around for exercise.
Please also observe the note on p. 7.
The reasons why users often cannot work comfortably with
the 45° tube are the differing heights of the outfits, the various
accessories and working distances, and the fact that the
same instrument is often used by several people of differing
builds. This problem can be effectively solved by using the
Leica ErgoModules™.
If you have problems with the viewing configuration on your
stereomicroscope, ask your Leica consultant for the most
ergonomic Leica solutions.
With the achromatic Ergo objective 0.4×– 0.63× for the Leica
MS5, MZ6, MZ7
5 and MZ95 it is possible to focus in the region
of 90mm (63.5 mm – 153.5 mm) ergonomically and precisely,
without changing the viewing height. At the same time,
magnification and working distance can be changed without
any time-consuming changing of the objectives.
The viewing height is correct when your head and back are
comfortably positioned.
• On the ErgoTube™, the viewing angle
is adjustable from 10° – 50°.
̈Holding the eyepiece tubes at their
bases, swing them up or down (see
arrow).
