The ergonomics of a microscope has a major impact on operator productivity, the resulting quality of work, as well as therefore incurring additional costs as a result of lost time, increased wastage, operator fatigue, or illness etc. Yes, microscope ergonomics concerns the comfort of the operator, but it also to do with improving eye fatigue, hand-to-eye co-ordination, efficiency and time saving, accuracy and error rates and many more factors.
Not all “ergonomic” microscopes can offer the full range of ergonomic benefits that are possible with Vision Engineering’s eyepiece-less microscopes. That’s why businesses choose Vision Engineering’s unique ergonomic solutions because they know their operators will be more efficient, more accurate and more productive. So the operator benefits and so does the business.
Mantis is the stereo microscope brand trusted by thousands of customers globally to deliver excellent high quality images for a wide range of magnification applications, in an easy to use ergonomic system.
The ergonomic design and operation of Mantis benefits the user in five key ways. This combination of benefits includes postural comfort, maximised eye comfort, improved hand-eye coordination, ease of use, and the perfect stereo view, and collectively enable higher levels of accurate, comfortable, and productive user performance for longer periods of time.

Lynx EVO: High Productivity Eyepiece-less 3D Stereo Microscope. An advanced eyepiece-less stereo microscope for intricate tasks requiring stunning high-resolution 3D stereo viewing. Lynx EVO delivers outstanding optical performance with unrivalled ergonomics to power your productivity.
Lynx EVO with 360° Oblique Viewer and Evotis Platform: Specialist Stereo Zoom Microscope for PCB Inspection Lynx EVO is an advanced stereo zoom microscope for specialist Printed Circuit Board (PCB) inspection and is ideal for all electronics applications including fine pitch, surface mount, TAB and BGA technology.
Traditional Eyepiece Based High quality stereo viewing, ideal for both industry and life science applications. Modern stereo microscopes can be divided into two types. Greenough stereo microscopes utilize twin body tubes that are inclined, so the light path too, which produces the stereo effect. Whereas CMO stereo microscope use a single Common Main Objective (CMO) that is shared between a pair of eyepiece tubes and lens systems. CMO stereo microscopes have a greater light-gathering power than the Greenough design and are often more highly corrected for optical aberrations. The choice between Greenough or CMO stereo microscopes is usually based on the application.
