Health Risks and Dangers of Use
Health Risks
 
Workplaces with microscopes facili-
tate and improve the viewing task, but 
they also impose high demands on the eyes 
and hand muscles of the user. Depending on 
the duration of uninterrupted work at such a 
workplace, impaired vision and problems with 
the musculoskeletal system may occur. For this 
reason, appropriate measures for reduction of 
the workload must be taken:
 
Ϙ
Optimum workplace layout
 
Ϙ
Frequent changes of activity
 
Ϙ
Thorough training of the personnel, giving 
consideration to ergonomic and organiza-
tional aspects
The ergonomic optical design and construction 
of the Leica microscopes are intended to reduce 
the exertion of the user to a minimum.
Danger of Infection
 
Direct contact with eyepieces can be a 
potential transmission path for bacterial 
and viral infections of the eye.
 
The risk can be minimized by the use of 
personal eyecups.
Dangers during Use
 
Ϙ
The Leica DM100 may be connected to a 
grounded socket only.
 
Ϙ
The Leica DM100 may be used when it is in
