Ergonomics
The
reasons why
users
often cannot work comfortably with
the
45
° tube
are
the differing heights
of
the outfits, the various
accessories
and
working distances,
and
the fact that
the
same
ins
trument
is
often
used
by
several
people
of
differing
builds.
This
problem
can
be
effectively
solved
by
using
the
Leica
ErgoModule™.
Viewing

If
you
have
problems with
the
viewing configuration
on
your
stereomicroscope,
ask
your
Leica
consultant for the most
ergonomic
Leica
so
lutions.
The
viewing height
is
correct when your
head
and
back
are
comfortably positioned.

On
the
Ergo
Tube™,
the viewing
angle
is
adjustable from
10
°-
50
°.
