The cytology department in my hospital uses a 9 headed microscope that 9 Dr's use simultaneously to examine slides and make reports. The department personnel ranges from the smallest to the tallest. At the table they use the microscopes, type reports and watch a monitor that displays the slides.
The table being used presently is at a fixed height, is narrow and does not allow room for keyboards or lower extremities. I am suggesting simple keyboard trays and ceiling mounted monitor arms. I trialed smaller keyboard trays to increase space but the physicians felt increased strain in their hands.
I am experiencing limitations in designing an adjustable height table because of the requirements of the microscope needing to be very still and stable so I am leaning towards raising the fixed height of the table to suit the tallest and bring the smallest up using chairs and stools.
I am having the same challenges with their 5 headed microscope.
Has anyone had any experience in cytology with this 9 headed microscope and if so, how is the workstation set up?
Thank you,
Alexandra Rella
