Health risks

Workplaces with microscopes 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 unin-

terrupted work, asthenopia and musculoskele-

tal problems may occur. For this reason, appro-

priate measures for reduction of the workload

must be taken:

ϘOptimal arrangement of workplace, work

assignments and work ﬂow (changing tasks

frequently).

ϘThorough training of the personnel, giving

consideration to ergonomic and organiza-

tional aspects.

The ergonomic optical design and construction

of Leica microscopes are intended to reduce the

exertion of the user to a minimum.
