Good Posture Is Essential To Good Microscopy

Stephen A. Shaffer
1998 Microscopy Today  
Let's face it. Looking through a microscope is not what our bodies were built for, and looking through a microscope for an extended period of time requires an unnatural rigidity of the body. You're not moving around, even a bit, as you normally would. The result can be cramped muscles, especially in the neck and shoulders, and a whole body fatigue Hi at can make 10:00 AM feel like 5:03 PM. The solution is correct posture and a proper arrangement of microscope, chair, and body.
