Fatigue Free Stereo Viewing - Easy To Use
The Mantis Elite provides a 3D visual inspection microscope with patented technology to allow the operator freedom of head movement whilst in use. This provides minimal fatigue, which has cross over effects to causing greater productivity, increased throughput, and improved quality control for the operator. You can even wear glasses whilst in operation.
The Mantis Elite presents an effortless 3-dimential view, with the apparent distance to the viewed object image identical to that of the real object. This will therefore eliminate the re-focussing of the operators’ eyes, further reducing the risk of fatigue.
This advancement in optical design allows your hands and eyes to work together – for the best 3D visual inspection experience from a microscope
The Ergonomics
From its inception, the Mantis family of microscopes (developed by Vision Engineering) have become the accepted standard for ergonomic and high performing magnification equipment.
The clarity of the 3D imagery is unrivalled, along with the comfort value that the Mantis Elite microscope brings to those whom use it. The imagery coupled with the ergonomic form factor is what has lead to businesses across the globe, trusting in the Mantis products for their manipulation and rework tasks.
Unlike most vision systems, with the Mantis the operator can sit back as there is no eye-piece, making co-ordinating and viewing tasks a completely natural experience.
The body position of the Mantis Elite makes it:
- More Comfortable
- Less Fatiguing
- Easier To Use

Perfect Applications To Use The Mantis Elite For:
 Electronics |
Ideal for works on PCB inspection and rework applications. The optical viewing head allows for unrivalled 3D imaging at no ergonomic detriment. Simple hand-eye co-ordination and fatigue-free soldering or inspection work is ideal with the Mantis Elite unit! |
 Precision Engineering |
The clear view and superior visual accuracy of the Mantis Elite helps to minimise errors and fatigue for components that need to be precision engineered. These components are critical in industries such as aerospace, automotive and more. This allows the easy inspection of any defects in the critical components. |
 Medical |
Medical devices are required to meet exact specifications with each and every product. From stents to catheters, there needs to be a thorough inspection to ensure these faultless standards are maintained. The Mantis Elite is the provides the perfect manual inspection tool for these processes thanks to its superior image contrast. |
 Lab/Life Sciences |
The Mantis Elite offers an eyepiece-less experience, allowing the user to still be wearing eye protection. Further to this, due to the viewing nature, the Mantis can be stored and viewed from within a laminar flow cabinet. This makes sample prep and dissection in laboratory settings effortless! |
 Dental |
Within the dental industry, the Mantis Elite can provide the optimal visual solution when it comes to crafting dental prosthetics. They must be tailor made to suit the individual, with magnification required for inspecting the moulds and quality checking the final product. |
