Intelligent Interface to Success

Flexible modular system: Prevents an unnatural, rigid body posture, fatigue, impaired performance and physical discomfort.
Ergonomic design: Enables the user to work accurately and efficiently and improves concentration. Enhances well-being, motivation and performance.
Individual adjustment of viewing point: Creates better and healthier viewing conditions, the user can change body posture to maintain a comfortable body posture.
Arm- and handrest: Reduces muscle strain during delicate work.
High-quality optic system: Improves visual performance and reduces eyestrain as no accommodation effort is required.

Ergonomic Workplace

Every person is different – that's why microscope workstations need to be adapted to their users. An optimal sitting position is the basis for a comfortable posture. An adaptable viewing height ensures the shoulder and neck muscles are not strained. Leica Microsystems' various eyepieces and ErgoModules help with these adjustments.
