Leica M Stereomicroscopes – Safety regulations
Repairs may only be carried out by Leica-trained service tech-
nicians.
Only original Leica spare parts may be used.
• Ensure that personnel who use the instrument have read and
understood this user manual and in particular the safety
instructions.
• Ensure that the Leica MS5, MZ6, MZ7
5, MZ95, MZ125, MZ16
and MZ16 A stereomicroscopes are operated, maintained
and repaired only by
authorized and trained personnel.
Workplaces with stereomicroscopes facilitate and improve
the viewing task, but they also impose high demands on the
eyes and holding muscles of the user. Dependent upon the
duration of uninterrupted activity, this may lead to asthenic
trouble and muscular-skeletal pain so that suitable measures
must be taken to reduce the strain:
– perfect design of workplace (see p.14), work content and
work process (frequently changing activities).
– detailed introduction of the personnel while considering
ergonomic and organizational work-related aspects.
The ergonomic optics concept and the design of the Leica M
series aim at limiting the strain on the user to the lowest possi-
ble level.
Direct contact with eyepieces can be a potential transmission
path for bacterial and viral infections of the eye. Users should
be made aware of the potential risk of infection. The risk can be
kept at a minimum by using individual eyepieces or attachable
eyecups (see p.16).
