Businesses choose Vision Engineering’s ergonomic stereo microscopes because operators are more
comfortable during inspection, so more efficient, more accurate and more productive.
So the operator benefits and so does the business.
Freedom of head movement
An additional benefit of Vision Engineering’s patented
eyepiece-less design is that users do not need to align their
eyes with eyepieces. This freedom of movement reduces
associated neck and back strain associated with the fixed
body position of conventional microscope eyepieces.
Ability to wear glasses
With Mantis, operators do not need to remove their glasses (or safety glasses) to use the
microscope.
Easy hand-eye co-ordination
Easy hand-eye co-ordination is possible with the Mantis – critical for
re-work, repair, dissection and other manipulation tasks. Sitting back
from the viewer provides users with much better peripheral vision, so
they can co-ordinate hands in a natural manner.
Ergonomic working position
An ergonomic body position makes the Mantis more
comfortable, less fatiguing and, more importantly, much
easier to use. Additionally, optimal operator ergonomics
minimises the risk of repetitive strain-related injuries.
A happy worker is a productive worker.
A natural view of the subject
With conventional microscope eyepieces, operators must position their eyes very close to
the eyepieces, blocking out ambient light. The intense light exiting the eyepieces causes the
pupils to contract. Constant contraction and expansion of the pupils is the main cause of eye
fatigue with microscopes.
With the patented eyepieces of Mantis, users sit back from the viewer, allowing ambient light
into the eyes. Additionally, the light exiting the ‘viewing lens’ is spread over a larger area,
proving a more natural view of the subject.
