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:

 

Ϙ

Optimal  arrangement  of  workplace,  work 
assignments and work flow (changing tasks 
frequently).

 

Ϙ

Thorough training of the personnel, giving 
consideration to ergonomic and organiza-
tional aspects.

The ergonomic design and construction of the 
Leica DM stereomicroscopy series are intended 
to  reduce  the  exertion  of  the  user  to  a  mini-
mum.
