Health risks and dangers of use
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 uninterrupted work, asthenopia 
and musculoskeletal problems 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 design and construction of the 
Leica microscopy series are intended to reduce 
the exertion of the user to a minimum.
Danger of infection
• 
Direct contact with eyepieces is a 
potential transmission method for viral 
infections of the eye.
 
The risk can be kept to a minimum by 
using personal eyepieces for each indi-
vidual or detachable eyecups.
Dangers during use
 
Ϙ
The Leica DM500 or DM500 B microscope 
may only be connected to a grounded
