Vision Engineering’s Mantis stereo microscope was a central part of a recent public exhibit on the pests and diseases on your garden organised by the UK’s largest public funder of food and agriculture research at BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2010. The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) utilised the ergonomic microscopes to help visitors to the stand engage with the pests and diseases on display and to assist their scientists in explaining the science behind pests, diseases and how to prevent them. Visitors to Gardeners’ World Live were invited to bring samples of
afflicted plants to the BBSRC stand to get advice scientists, drawn from world-leading BBSRC Institutes and university departments. These were investigated
using the ‘eyepieceless’ viewing head of the Mantis microscope.
