Health risks
Workplaces 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 dura- tion of uninterrupted 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 person- nel, giving consideration to ergonomic and organizational aspects.
The ergonomic design and construction of the Leica M stereomicroscopy series are intended to reduce the exertion of the user to a minimum.
Direct contact with eyepieces can be a potential transmission path for bacterial and viral infec- tions of the eye.
The risk can be kept to a minimum by using personal eyepieces for each individual or detachable eyecups.
Careful handling
★★ Exercise particular care when setting up the instruments. If it is specified that two or more people are required for setup, compli- ance with this is mandatory.
★★ Never spill any liquids on electrical instru- ments. This could cause the stereomicro- scope and other equipment to become electrically live and damage people and instruments.
★★ Never clean instruments using corro- sive cleaning agents or those containing acetone. For detailed information about care, refer to the User Manual for the instru- ment.
★★ Check the power cables regularly. Defective power cables can cause injuries.
★★ Wait for bulbs to cool off before changing them. Touching hot bulbs can cause burns.
