“Wow!” The most common reaction when looking into a Mantis for the first time…

Patented eyepiece-less technology provides the Mantis Elite with truly exceptional 3-D imaging, plus a significant ergonomic advantage over conventional stereo microscopes, minimising operator fatigue and allowing the greater freedom of head movement, leading to increased quality and productivity.

Mantis Elite offers a large field of view and generous working distance to allow for a wide range of inspection, preparation and manipulation tasks, all with exceptional hand-eye co-ordination.

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.
