Mantis PIXO – eyepiece-less stereo microscope
The Mantis PIXO is a model in the Mantis family of eyepiece-less stereo microscopes. The system offers an optical magnification range of 3–15x via a three-position turret and is supplied as a microscope head requiring a separate stand (e.g., Stabila or Verso). The Mantis PIXO features integrated digital image capture and supports the manufacturer's software options for capture and measurement.
Key Features
- Optical magnification: 3–15x via three-position turret.
- Integrated camera (Mantis PIXO): 5.04 MP rear-illuminated CMOS; highest capture resolution 2592 × 1944 pixels; maximum frame rate 48 fps.
- Illumination options: dynamic 3D incident illumination, transmitted (Stabila base), and combined white/UV with UV peak at 385 nm.
- Supported software: ViCapture, DimensionOne/Two, ViFox, and ViPlus.
Typical Applications
The following applications are indicated by the manufacturer and describe tasks for which the Mantis family is intended:
- Electronics: inspection and rework, PCB inspection, and soldering work.
- Precision machining: checking component finish and detecting surface defects.
- Medical devices: inspection of stents, catheters, and similar products.
- Plastics and rubber: quality control and removal of overflow defects (flash).
- Watchmaking and jewelry: assembly and finishing of small components and stone setting.
- Laboratories and life sciences: sample preparation, dissection, and manipulation where prolonged work requires ergonomics.
- Dental: precision work such as fitting and color matching of prosthetics.
- UV-fluorescent coatings and dyes: inspection alternately in white and UV light to highlight fluorescence.
