Vision Engineering Releases New Generation of Mantis Stereo Microscope

Vision Engineering has launched the third generation of its Mantis range of ergonomic optical stereo microscopes.
 
The new Mantis generation range (PIXO, ERGO, and IOTA), incorporates Vision Engineering’s patented ergonomic technology and the latest developments in optics, digital cameras, and fully adjustable LED lighting.
 
New features include improved optics for both hand-to-eye coordination and excellent depth perception, a three-position turret to house up to three objectives ranging from 3x to 15x, the introduction of an 8x super long working distance lens, five different illumination options providing flexibility to optimize the lighting to view the perfect image, and the Mantis PIXO offers an improved, higher resolution camera for image and video capture. The system also features an option to switch between white light and UV light using a toggle switch.
 
Mantis PIXO, Mantis ERGO, and Mantis IOTA feature the revered long working distances associated with Mantis which are needed for soldering, rework, and manipulative tasks when tools are required. The new systems are designed with Vision Engineering’s unique eyepiece-less technology that delivers a large, high-quality optical stereo image, making it more comfortable and easier to view than traditional microscopes.
 
The new generation of Mantis microscopes come with a range of new stand options and accessories to allow for greater flexibility, stability, and a reduced footprint on the workstation.
 
“For the last 28 years, Mantis has proved to be an ideal solution for anyone who needs to perform precise work with small objects,” said Richard Nagel, vice president of Sales and Marketing, Americas, at Vision Engineering. “We have listened to our customers and incorporated many of their requested features into Mantis 3rd Gen. The new range is based on our flagship product and offers users an improved ergonomic stereo microscope designed with the quality users have come to expect from the Vision Engineering brand.”
 
Mantis is designed for precision engineering, electronic engineering, medical device manufacture, and a wide range of other applications that require high-quality images and superior ergonomics. Mantis is used in tens of thousands of R&D, manufacturing, and analytical sites worldwide.
