| A comfortable sitting position is extremely important when working on a stereo microscope for an extended period of time. An upright posture with the head bent only slightly forward is ideal for avoiding premature fatigue due to muscle tension and spinal column strain. For these reasons, Leica Microsystems new instruments feature a viewing angle of 38° to the horizontal (S4 E, S6 E, S6 T). This ergonomic viewing angle was received from the average height of stereomicroscopes and the most common real-life working distances. An instrument with a 60° viewing angle is advantageous if the stereomicroscope is inclined on a swinging-arm stand or on machines and bonders. The Leica S6 provides a standard 60 ° viewing angle, when it is used in these situations. Patented, Cost-saving, Affordable Yes, you CAN touch a Leica!
