Amazing 3 dimensional view
The expanded pupil technology of the Mantis Elite Cam HD enables users to move within the optical paths, effectively allowing the user to look around the subject by moving their head. This increases depth perception enabling easier hand eye coordination and natural manipulations.
Effective software included
Simple, easy-to-use uEye image and video capture software is included as standard to allow you to quickly get up and running, make annotations and optimize camera settings for your application.
An upgrade to the powerful DimensionOne™ software provides the added benefits of on-screen measurement tools.
uEye and DimensionOne™ are available in all major languages.
Fatigue-free optical viewing
Patented optical technology of Mantis removes the need for restrictive eyepieces of a conventional microscope, allowing operators freedom of head movement, providing superb ergonomics and hand-eye coordination, plus the
ability to wear prescription or safety glasses, if required.

Details
Mantis Compact Ergonomic Inspection Microscope
Since its introduction, Vision Engineering's Mantis has become the accepted standard for ergonomics and high performance magnification.
Mantis offers users 3D imaging with unrivaled clarity and comfort – without microscope eyepieces. Businesses choose Mantis because they know their operators are more efficient, more accurate and more productive. The operator benefits and so does the business.
“Wow!” The most common reaction when looking into a Mantis for the first time...
Mantis Compact brings users many benefits for a wide range of inspection, manipulation or rework tasks.
An ergonomic body position makes Mantis more comfortable, less fatiguing and, more importantly, much easier to use. Plus, since there are no microscope eyepieces, operators can sit back from Mantis, making viewing and co-ordination tasks an entirely natural experience.
Features and Benefits
- Superb stereo imaging, without fatigue
- Advances in optical design allow your eyes and hands to work together resulting in increased output, accuracy and reduced scrap and rework.
- 2x, 4x, 6x and 8x magnification options provide clear, sharp images with long working distances and large depth of field.
Ease of Use
Increased head and body freedom for the operator leads to greater productivity, increased throughput, improved quality control and less fatigue.
Mantis Compact offers effortless 3D viewing, with the apparent distance to the viewed object image identical to that of the real object, eliminating re-focusing of the operator's eye; thus reducing the likelihood of fatigue.
Price and Performance
The latest generation of Mantis incorporates the most modern advances in optical design with LED illumination and a small footprint, giving a superb price / performance ratio.
Stand Options
- Universal arm for simplicity and flexibility.
- Articulated arm for applications requiring extended reach, without compromising stability.
- Rigid bench stand for added stability with substage illumination options.
- Floor stand (with articulated arm) for inspection where subjects are immobile, or require a standing position.
Accessories
The Mantis stereo inspection system is a popular solution for inspecting and manipulating samples under magnification.
With Mantis Compact UV, the standard 20 white light LEDs of Mantis Compact are replaced with 20 UVA LEDs (2.4mW/cm², with wavelength peak at 375 ± 5 nanometers).
Superb 3D optics make Mantis Compact UV, ideal for a wide range of non-destructive testing, crack & fatigue detection, conformal coating inspection of PCB's, UV medical adhesives & general UV inspection tasks.
- Superb stereo vision gives unsurpassed crack and coating visibility
- Fast and accurate fault detection
- Enhanced productivity and reduced scrap rates
Floating Stage
Provides smooth and sensitive control allowing for samples to be accurately inspected. For use with bench stand only.
- Sensitive controls for steady maneuverability
Objective Lens
-
2x, 4x, 6x and 8x quick-change objective lenses are available, to suite different application requirements.
-
Simply 'twist and lock' to change the objective lens.
-
Disposable lens protection caps are available to protect your objective lens from damage when soldering or in similar aggressive environments.
Secondary Link, for Articulated Arm
Keep the workspace clear. A secondary link increases total reach of the Articulated Arm to 31.50" (800mm), for ultimate flexibility and maneuverability.
