tions on request. Some products can be

modiﬁed, and we can oﬀer other accesso-

ries for use in clean rooms.

Intended use

ORefer to "Safety Concept" booklet

Non-intended use

ORefer to "Safety Concept" booklet

Never use S series microscopes or their compo-

nents for surgical procedures (e.g. on the eye)

unless they are speciﬁcally intended for that

purpose.

The devices and accessories described in this

User Manual have been tested with regard to

potential hazards. The responsible Leica aﬃliate

must be consulted whenever the instrument is

Unauthorized alterations to the instrument or

noncompliant use shall void all rights to any

warranty claims!

Place of use

ORefer to "Safety Concept" booklet

OElectrical components must be placed at

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

ORefer to "Safety Concept" booklet

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.
