Quick and simple to add annotations or mark ups on captured images. Done with the use of the supplied ViCapture software.
Ability to video record (.avi), which is perfect for training purposes.
Ability to optimise the camera settings for your applications, with white balance, gain, contrast, colour channel gain and more.
Why Use The Mantis Elite-Cam HD?
Integrated HD Camera, Complete With Video & Image Capture!
Simple To Use & Ergonomic – Aimed At Reducing Worker Fatigue!
Magnification Options To Provide The Ideal 3D Imagery!
Fatigue Free Stereo Viewing - Easy To Use
The Mantis Elite-Cam HD 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-Cam HD presents an effortless 3-dimentional 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-Cam HD 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.

Perfect Applications To Use The Mantis Elite-Cam HD 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-Cam HD unit!
Precision Engineering
The clear view and superior visual accuracy of the Mantis Elite-Cam HD 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-Cam HD is the provides the perfect manual inspection tool for these processes thanks to its superior image contrast.
Lab/Life Sciences
The Mantis Elite-Cam HD 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-Cam HD 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.
More
There are many other applications where the Mantis Elite-Cam HD is highly used and beneficial. These industries include education, agriculture, restoration, forensics, and many more. Call up our experts today for more information on how the Mantis Elite-Cam HD can benefit your working processes!
Is the Mantis Elite, Elite CAM-HD and Compact still available?
Yes. Each of these have been rebranded as part of Vision Engineering’s Mantis Classic range. Accessories and replacement parts are still available for these systems for the foreseeable future. You can also purchase these models still, should you wish to keep continuity on your production line for example.
Can Mantis classic parts work with the new Mantis 3rd Generation range?
As the new upgraded versions of the Mantis (PIXO/ERGO/IOTA) are a significant upgrade from the classic range, the entire microscope has been completely redesigned. This means that most parts and accessories for the classic range are not compatible with the new line of Mantis stereo microscopes.
