6 Key Reasons To Invest In The Mantis PIXO

High Performance Digital Imaging

With the Mantis PIXO, there is an integrated high-quality microscope camera that lets the user share their images to a screen. The PIXO does this through its 5MP back-illuminated sensor, and the super-speed USB-C cable for data transfer.

You can therefore capture, review and share the high-quality images, alongside annotating them. This is all done in real-time, aiding in reporting and communicating with a wider team. Digital overlays can also be added to compare live images with either targets, measures, or pre-set guides.

Versatility

The Mantis range has an overall magnification range of 3x all the way to 15x (see above each Mantis models magnification capabilities above). This provides superior image quality alongside a long working distance – making the Mantis range the perfect stereo inspection equipment for a wide-range of applications.

There are three versions of the 3rd gen Mantis (PIXO/ERGO/IOTA) which all have multiple stand and lighting options, allowing you to tailor the device directly to your requirements.

Faster Inspections

See every detail of your subject thanks to the unique and large viewing display. This means that the operator can assess samples at a quicker and more accurate rate and thus increasing both efficiency and throughput rate.

Both the PIXO and ERGO models have a built in triple objective turret. This lets magnification switches occur at a far easier and quicker pace.

Increased Comfort

The Mantis series has always been the pioneer for ergonomic perfection when using a stereo microscope. The eyepiece-less viewing provides ergonomic benefits to the operator superior to that of anything provided by other brands.

The designed-in ergonomics help to provide a more comfortable working position, whilst also maximising eye comfort, improving hand eye coordination and more. This enables the operator to work with magnification for longer periods of time in comfort!

Improved Accuracy

The 3rd generation of the Mantis now has 5 illumination options to help you maximise the control of shadows, which gives you the perfect sample view. This helps to ensure faults are easily detected and any rework tasks straightforward.

These illumination options include:

  • Dynamic 3D
  • Sub-stage, transmitted, diascopic
  • Incident, episcopic
  • Combined White/UV
  • Contrast enhancing, pseudo dark-field

Suitable For A Wide Range Of Applications

The Mantis series of microscope is an excellent tool for a wide range of industries and applications. This is thanks to the long working distance and excellent depth perception. These industries include:

  • Electronics
  • Medical devices
  • Precision engineering
  • Life science & lab work
  • Dental
  • Watch & jewellery making
  • Much more…

Customer Questions
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.
