Mantis Elite is a unique ergonomic inspection microscope from Vision Engineering which offers 3D images at magnifications up to 20x. Mantis Elite excels at tasks traditionally done with stereo microscopes providing a large field of view and generous working distance.

Utilising Vision Engineering's patented eyepiece-less technology the Mantis Elite offers superior ergonomics reducing operator fatigue and improving productivity. Operators benefit from hand-eye co-ordination and complete freedom of head movement, with the ability to wear glasses if needed.

Mantis Elite is modular with several stand options and a choice of 8 objective lenses providing magnification between 2x, and 20x magnification.  A quick change turret allows users to switch between low magnification inspection and high magnification for fine detail tasks. 

LED Illumination is integrated into the optical head providing bright white, true colour and shadow-free viewing.
