Health risks
Workplaces with stereomicroscopes both improve and make visual tasks easier, but they also place high demands on the human visual apparatus and the muscular "holding apparatus" of the user. Depending on the duration of uninter- rupted work, asthenopia and musculoskeletal problems may occur. For this reason, appropriate measures for reduction of the workload must be taken:
–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 design and construction of Leica M series stereomicroscopes are intended to reduce the exertion of the user to a minimum.
Direct contact with eyepieces is a potential transmission method for bacterial and viral infec- tions of the eye.
The risk can be kept to a minimum by using per- sonal eyepieces for each individual or detachable eyecups.
