3D Eyepiece-less Inspection Microscope

Mantis Elite is a patented ‘eyepieceless’ stereo microscope, offering truly superb 3-D imaging and unparalleled levels of comfort, reducing operator fatigue and increasing quality and productivity.

Winner of numerous industry design awards, the outstanding ergonomic design is unrivalled by other inspection stereo viewers.

With magnification options up to 20x, Mantis Elite is the high performance stereo viewer of choice for a wide range of precision tasks requiring magnification.

Fatigue-Free Viewing

Patented optical technology removes the need for restrictive eyepieces of a conventional microscope, allowing operators freedom of head movement, providing superb ergonomics and hand-eye co-ordination, plus the ability to wear glasses, if required.

Mantis Elite is a perfect alternative to traditional stereo microscopes, in use throughout the world for a wide range of inspection, preparation and manipulation tasks requiring hand-to-eye co-ordination.

Details

Price and Performance
Mantis incorporates the most modern advances in optical design with LED illumination and a small footprint, giving a superb price / performance ratio.

Features and Benefits
Advances in optical design allow your eyes and hands to work together resulting in increased throughput, accuracy and reduced scrap and rework.

2x – 20x magnification options with quick change turret allows users to switch between low magnification inspection and high magnification fine detail tasks.

Ease of Use
Increased head and body freedom for the operator leads to greater productivity, increased throughput, improved quality control and less fatigue.

Mantis Elite offers simple 3-dimensional viewing, with the apparent distance to the viewed object image identical to that of the real object, eliminating re-focussing of the operator’s eye; thus reducing the likelihood of fatigue.

Stand Options
-Universal arm for simplicity and flexibility.
-Rigid bench stand for added stability with substage illumination options.
-Articulated arm for applications requiring extended reach, without compromising stability. Optional secondary link extends reach by 150mm.
-Floor stand (with articulated arm) for inspection where subjects are immobile, or require a standing position.

Image Capture Capabilities
The new Mantis Elite-Cam variant comprises of a standard Mantis Elite, with a factory-integrated digital camera, bringing image capture capabilities to the outstanding eyepiece-less optics of Mantis Elite …

Accessories

The Mantis stereo inspection system is a popular solution for inspecting and manipulating samples under magnification

A range of accessories provides extended reach, increased height and larger working distances to reduce the difficulties of inspection tasks.

Episcopic Illuminator

The Episcopic illuminator provides a concentration of light through- the-lens (TTL) to illuminate the bottom and sides of component features, which would otherwise be difficult to view.
With an iris feature to allow focusing of the light, the Episcopic Illuminator is ideal for the inspection of complex internal/external features, such as bores, pipes, tubes, slots, holes and connectors.

-Focusable, through the lens illumination
-Available with 4x, 6x, 8x and 10x objectives (6x, 8x and 10x objectives require a spacer block)

UV/White Light Illumination

Mantis Elite UV is a variant of Vision Engineering’s Mantis Elite stereomicroscope, offering clear, magnified imaging of UV fluoresced cracks, flaws and coatings.
The dedicated variant incorporates switchable UV/white light illumination for the combined benefits of stereo magnification and UV inspection, making it ideal for a wide range of specialist and general UV inspection tasks.

-Superb stereo vision gives unsurpassed crack and coating visibility
-Independent central switch for UV lamp
-Footswitch control for white light

Floating Stage
Provides smooth and sensitive control allowing for samples to be accurately inspected. For use with bench stand only.
-Sensitive controls for steady manoeuvrability

Objective Lens
2x, 4x, 6x, 6x SLWD (Super Long Working Distance), 8x, 10x, 15x and 20x objective lenses are available, to suit different application requirements.Mantis Elite houses 2 objectives in a quick rotate turret, so you can inspect at lower magnification, then switch to higher magnification for detail work.With a 112mm working distance, the 6x SLWD objective is an ideal solution for precision applications requiring both inspection and detail tasks, such as hair restoration and dental laboratory work.Disposable lens protection caps are available to protect your objective lens from damage when soldering, or in similar aggressive environments.
