Leica StereoZoom User Manual
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, 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 S series aim at limiting the strain on the user to the
lowest possible 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. 17).
Electrically operated equipment
Handle liquids carefully.
Liquids spilt on the instrument
– can cause the stereomicroscope and other equipment to
become electrically live and injure persons,
– can cause damage to the instrument.
Check regularly to ensure that the mains cable is
undamaged and avoid jerking or pulling the cable hard.
Faulty mains cables
• can injure persons,
• can cause the stereomicroscope and other equipment to
become electrically live and injure persons.
Ensure the cable is not in a position where someone could
accidentally catch it, otherwise the instrument could tip
over and fall, damaging itself or other equipment, or injuring
people nearby.
Electrical equipment may only be repaired by authorized
Leica personnel.
Disconnect the mains cable before opening the instrument.
Touching the open instrument when voltage is
applied may result in injury.
