New range of accessories expand Mantis capabilities
A new range of accessories have increased the capabilities of the accomplished Mantis stereo viewer.
The articulated arm is an accessory for the Mantis, providing extended
reach for applications requiring additional flexibility.
The episcopic illuminator for Mantis Elite
provides a solution for inspecting
components such as mechanical parts
where bore holes and complex internal /
external features require a concentration of illumination.
The floor stand for Mantis Compact and
Mantis Elite is specifically designed for stereo
inspection where subjects are immobile or require a
standing position. Mobile and highly stable, the floor
stand provides a versatile option for Mantis operators.
Mantis Compact UV is a high definition
illumination option, ideal for UV inspection
applications ... read more

New LED Illuminator for Lynx
Designed specifically for the Lynx stereo dynascopic microscope*,
the new LED illuminator offers improved performance and longer
life, with a fraction of the running costs of conventional halogen
systems.
The latest generation of LEDs provide over 10,000 hours
of continuous viewing, reducing consumable and maintenance costs considerably. Additionally, the 14-point shadow-free ringlight provides brighter, whiter illumination with reduced heat and energy to the subject ... read more

Introducing Merlin 300 2-Axis Video Measuring System
