Versatility - Whatever you need to magnify or work on, Mantis is THE stereo microscope to use. Manipulate your subject easily with long working distance, accurate 3D view, and quick magnification change. A choice of 3 models ensures you get the functionality you need to complete your tasks, with maximum accuracy, efficiency and comfort.

MANTIS THE stereo microscope for image quality

Eyepiece-less design

The eyepiece-less technology of Mantis projects a large, high quality optical stereo image directly into the user’s eyes. This makes the image much easier and more comfortable to view compared to traditional microscopes. The unique image quality presented by Mantis is a result of bespoke lenses and optics, tailored to each system. The clarity of the 3D image supports enhanced hand-eye coordination, making subject manipulation with tools more accurate, faster and more efficient.

Custom Optics

To ensure the highest image quality for the user, each lens is tailored to the Mantis system, combining finest optical quality glass and special coatings to give a high resolution, high contrast view. For the most demanding subjects there is also a range of Super Long Working Distance (SLWD) objective lenses.

Dynamic View Optics

Mantis’s large, clear image enables the operator to have a range of head movement while viewing the subject, giving them the opportunity to look ‘around’ the subject rather than just straight down on it. This ‘dynamic view’ improves visual understanding, enabling a view of the sides of features, thereby presenting a much greater level of information than a traditional microscope.

MANTIS THE stereo microscope for ergonomics

Postural comfort

Patented eyepiece-less technology delivers a large image at a position in which the operator sits upright to view. This is a major advantage over traditional microscope image viewing positions, and reduces strain on the operator’s back, neck, and shoulders, Additionally, because the image is comparatively large, the user’s head is not required to be in a fixed position, also improving working comfort.

Hand-eye coordination

The distinctive stereo view of Mantis gives users access to both the direct view of the subject, and also to their peripheral vision. This enhanced view helps users to understand the shape and form of the subject, and also the position of the tools they are using to work on the sample. Sample manipulation using tools can be carried out with higher levels of accuracy and confidence.

Maximized eye comfort

The distance from the Mantis to the user’s eye allows access to ambient light, reducing iris activity when working. Users can wear corrective or protective eye glasses without loss of performance.

No eyepieces and simple controls which can be operated whilst wearing hand protection, supports ’no-touch’ viewing. The separation from the system to the user’s eye reduces the risk of cross contamination and eye infection.

Mantis can be shared between multiple operators more safely, reducing operator risk. Mantis can be used in otherwise inaccessible environments such as laminar flow cabinets.Users can wear corrective or protective eye glasses without loss of performance.

Perfect stereo view every time

The simple inter pupillary distance (IPD) control ensures that every user has the perfect stereo view, every time. Simply rotate the control until the binocular image aligns with your eyes.

Applications

THE stereo microscope for a range of applications requiring magnification up to 15x where you would otherwise use a bench magnifier or traditional stereo microscope. Mantis is designed for accuracy in the industrial or academic workplace, and is ideal for quality inspection of assemblies, repairs and reworks, sample preparation, dissection and more. Mantis is the 3D stereo microscope of choice for industries including electronics, medical device manufacture, precision engineering, life science, aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.
