tions on request. Some products can be
modified, and we can offer other accesso-
ries for use in clean rooms.
Servicing
ORepairs may only be carried out by Leica
Microsystems-trained service technicians.
Only original Leica Microsystems spare
parts may be used.
Responsibilities of person in charge of

warranty claims!
Place of use
ORefer to "Safety Concept" booklet

least 10 cm away from the wall and from
flammable substances.
OAvoid large temperature fluctuations,
direct sunlight and vibrations. These condi-
tions can distort measurements and micro-
graphic images.
OIn warm and warm-damp climatic zones,
the individual components require special
care in order to prevent the build-up of
fungus.
Responsibilities of person in charge of
instrument

Safety Instructions (continued)
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 duration of uninterrupted work, asthenopia
and musculoskeletal problems may occur. For
this reason, appropriate measures for reduction
of the workload must be taken:
OOptimal arrangement of workplace, work
assignments and work flow (changing tasks
frequently).
OThorough training of the personnel, giving
consideration to ergonomic and organizati-
onal aspects.
OThe ergonomic optical design and const-
ruction of the Leica S 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 infections of the eye.
The risk can be kept to a minimum by using
personal eyepieces for each individual or
detachable eyecups.
