An ergonomic solution to inspecting under magnification.

A leading manufacturer of cardiac performance sensors has invested in several Mantis Stereo Inspection Microscopes to inspect their cardiac performance sensors. As these components are extremely critical, each sensor is individually inspected before it is cleared for dispatch.

The operator’s primary function is to check the cosmetic appearance of the sensors, since these products are used for severely ill patients;  therefore the inspection process is fundamental in the continued quality of these valuable products.

Initially using a high powered microscope, the sensors were inspected meticulously; however the operator’s having to be hunched over the binocular eyepieces compromises their comfort and productivity. Unlike these traditionally designed microscopes, the Mantis offers a viewing head, which permits operators to inspect in comfort,  optimizing both accuracy and productivity.

In addition to the superior contrast, clarity and color, the Mantis offers  LEDs, both substage and surface illumination, keeping running costs to a minimum. With a range of stand options for customized usage in individual working environments, the Mantis stereo microscope is an extremely versatile option.

Various optional accessories are available for the Mantis, including an episcopic illuminator for inspection of feature rich components such as machined parts with bore and blind holes; UV option for inspecting coatings; a super long working objective designed for modifications under the lens; and digital image capture with a range of digital cameras and cataloguing software.
