Vision Engineering.
Leading-edge manufacture of ergonomic microscopes.
Discover Vision Engineering
Respected by scientists, engineers and technicians across the globe, Vision Engineering Ltd is a true British success story. Founded in 1958, we are the world’s leading ergonomic microscopy company, designing and manufacturing high-quality microscopes, digital instruments, and metrology systems.
Today, we export over 90% of our products around the world. Our success comes from a culture of innovation, quality and ergonomic design.
Creative innovation
Our patented eyepiece-less optical technologies are changing how people work for the better. We have replaced conventional binocular microscope eyepieces with our industry-leading ergonomic design.
An unswerving commitment to quality
From supply chain to product manufacture and after-sales care, our procedures are continually evaluated, enhanced and documented.
Quality is our mission; it is our passion. That’s why everyone on the team is empowered and motivated to support our aim of excellence in all we do.
Advanced ergonomics for operator comfort
If you’re using a piece of equipment for multiple hours, your comfort and ease of use must be a priority. This principle is built into the design of every microscope and measuring system we make.
Good ergonomic qualities are essential. We ensure the product is comfortable and easy to use to reduce operator discomfort and fatigue. Our patented microscope viewing heads let operators adopt a natural, stress-free posture, promoting efficiency and enhancing productivity.
Operator comfort for greater productivity
With our eyepiece-less optical technology, we have removed the need for operators to align their eyes with traditional eyepieces. Muscles stay relaxed, eliminating the discomfort associated with prolonged conventional microscope sessions.
Plus, there is no exposure to intense light; a leading cause of eye fatigue. Instead, users sit comfortably, allowing ambient light into their eyes. And if operators wear glasses, they don’t need to take them off.
Easy hand-eye-co-ordination
Hand-eye coordination is essential for re-work, repair, dissection and other manipulation tasks. With conventional binocular microscopes, that’s a challenge. But with our award-winning range of digital 3D stereo microscopes, it’s easy.
Global presence. Local service
You’ll find our people in offices across North America, Central America, UK, Europe and Asia, working directly to support you and through a fully trained global distribution network. Together, we’re bringing the best British and American inspection and measurement products to some of the world’s best-known brands.
