Health risks
The ergonomic optics concept and the design of
Leica instruments aim to limit the strain on the
user to the lowest possible level.
Workplaces with optical systems facili-
tate 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 muscu-
loskeletal problems may occur. For this reason,
appropriate measures for reduction of the work-
load must be taken:
– A basic requirement is a stable stage at optimal
height (70 – 80cm). Together with an ergonomi-
cally correct, multi-adjustable chair, these are
the external requirements for fatigue-free
microscopy work.
– optimal arrangement of workplace, work
assignments and work flow (changing tasks
frequently).
– thorough training of the personnel, giving con-
sideration to ergonomic and organization
aspects.
