User manual Leica EZ5
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 . Long periods of uninter-
rupted activity may cause asthenopic complaints and injury to
the musculoskeletal system . Appropriate measures should be
adopted to reduce physical stress:
• optimal arrangement of workplace, work assignments and
work flow (changing tasks frequently) .
• thorough training of the personnel, giving consideration to
ergonomic and organization aspects .
The ergonomic optics concept and the design of the Leica EZ5
aim to limit the strain on the user to the lowest possible level .
Direct contact with eyepieces is a potential transmission method
for bacterial and viral infections of the eye . Users should be made
aware of the potential risk of infection . This risk can be minimized
by using personal eyepieces or removable eyecups (see page 19) .
Eyecups can be purchased separately . For more information,
contact your Leica partner .
