Stereo microscopes

16 May 2012 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Vision Engineering manufactures the Mantis range of stereo viewing systems for a wide range of inspection and material rework tasks. They feature patented optical technology for fatigue-free viewing and high image quality and are available with a wide range of magnification options (up to x20). The systems provide long working distances, large depths of field and shadow-free true colour LED illumination.

The system is available in three variants:

Mantis Compact excels in the low magnification range for inspection or manipulation tasks where bench magnifiers have traditionally been used. It has a small footprint and low investment cost.

Mantis Elite offers a wider, higher performance specification including high magnification, large field of view, long working distance and head tilt capability. It has enhanced optical performance, making it an alternative to traditional stereo microscopes for a wide range of inspection, preparation and manipulation tasks requiring hand-to-eye coordination.

Mantis Macro offers a straight through in-line view of the subject, similar in operation to a bench magnifier, but with increased optical clarity and magnification. It offers a comparatively high magnification for an in-line viewer, making it ideal for tasks which require enhanced hand-eye coordination and increased magnification.
