The Importance of Ergonomics

Mantis is an award-winning ergonomic stereo microscope that offers exceptional operator comfort and superb 3D imaging. No awkward eyepieces means a stress-free viewing experience, see more and do more than is possible with conventional binocular microscopes. Postural benefits combined with greater eye comfort, ease of use and the perfect stereo view means operators’ output quality and productivity are maximized.

Operator Health and Productivity

An ergonomic body position makes the Mantis easier, less fatiguing, and more comfortable to use. Additionally, optimal operator ergonomics minimizes the risk of repetitive strain-related injuries as well as increasing productivity and quality. With no awkward eyepieces and nothing to hunch over, the Mantis creates an overall stress-free experience for the operator.

Increased Hand-eye Coordination

Hand-eye co-ordination is critical for re-work, repair, dissection, and other manipulation tasks. This can be challenging when using tools or when manipulating subjects under an ordinary microscope. Vision Engineering’s patented eyepiece-less technology lets users sit back, allowing greater peripheral vision and the ability to use hands and tools in a natural manner.

Reduced Eye Strain and Discomfort

Conventional binocular microscopes send intense, narrow beams of light into the user’s eyes, forcing the pupils to constrict. This repeated constriction and subsequent dilation can cause eyestrain. Our ergonomic microscopes allow ambient light to enter the eye, providing a comfortable viewing experience which facilitates longer sessions and greater productivity.
