英国Vision Engineering  
英国Vision Engineering 是一家成立于 1958 年的私营公司，其已成为世界上最具创新和活力的显微镜制造商之一。全世界的科学家和工程师使用 Vision 的专利投射图象和扩瞳显微镜于生命科学和工业应用。到目前为止，已发货超过 300,000 件产品。
专利光学技术

Vision Engineering 拥有全球专利技术，运用此技术可扩大传统双目显微镜的出射瞳孔。这些技术被应用于 Vision“无目镜”和“扩瞳”光学系统，为用户提供先进的人体工程学设计，并能降低眼部疲劳，因此提高了生产率和精确度。

研究与开发

近年来，大量研究与开发投入成为 Vision 成功的关键。新产品和现有产品不断问世，以满足科学和制造领域的需求。Vision Engineering 继续引导光学革新与技术，持续发展新的产品与技术。

出口与分销

Vision 所制造的产品 80% 以上出口外销，我们深知与分销商稳固关系的重要性。1991 年，Vision Engineering 获得英国女王出口奖。获得的其他荣誉还包括：1997 年度威尔士亲王创新科技奖和 1974 年度英国女王技术奖。

Vision Engineering 全球

Vision Engineering 的主要制造基地位于英国 Surrey，靠近 Woking 的 Send。进一步的商业和装配活动在位于 Woking 的另一地点完成。Vision 的北美分公司在 Danbury CT 进行生产，并负责经营东西海岸区域办事处的直销和分销网络。

公司在日本、中国、德国、法国、意大利和卢森堡等国家设有子公司。以及一个拥有 120 多家训练有素的持库存分销商网络，为所有其他发达国家提供服务。

Vision Engineering 由精密工具制造者 Rob Freeman 创建于 1958 年。他之前是 Jaguar Racing Team（美洲虎车队）的赛车机械师。本公司最初是作为英国大公司的专门光学转包商，其中包括劳斯莱斯 (Rolls Royce)，维克斯 (Vickers)，费伦蒂 (Ferranti) 和 GEC。

在美洲虎的时候，Rob 开发出了一种不需要拆卸、用来检查发动机部件的管道镜，随后他成立了 Vision Engineering，以拓展他对应用光学于制造技术的兴趣。

60 年代，因应国防、航空航天和汽车工业的制造需求，Vision Engineering 开发了一系列内窥镜、管道镜和显微镜。

进入 20 世纪 70 年代，本公司开始研究将显微镜操作者与限制目镜分离的无线投射系统。

显微镜制造商

从那以后，Vision Engineering 致力企业设计及创新政策，专注于优化生产领域（电子、机械、塑料、陶瓷等），特别是在生命科学领域的光学系统操作者效能。

1996 年，女王伊丽莎白二世为 Rob Freeman 授予 MBE 称号，以表彰了他为英国光学工业所做的贡献。Vision Engineering 同样获得了多项英国设计奖和两项女王奖（1971 年的技术奖和 1991 年的出口奖），以及许多国际工业和设计奖。

Vision Engineering 继续引导光学革新与技术，持续发展新的产品与技术。

 Vision Engineering Ltd is a leading-edge manufacturer of ergonomic stereo microscopes and non-contact measuring systems. Since its formation in 1958, Vision Engineering has become one of the world's most innovative and dynamic microscope manufacturers, with offices across Europe, Asia and North America.

Engineers and scientists worldwide use our systems for a wide range of general magnification, inspection and measurement application in both industrial and life science markets. More than 300,000 units have been installed worldwide to date.

Vision Engineering's main manufacturing base is at Send near Woking in Surrey, UK. Further commercial and assembly activities are carried out at a second site in Woking. Vision has a North American division, which manufactures in Danbury, Connecticut, USA and operates direct sales and distribution networks from regional offices on the East and West coasts.

The company also has additional subsidiaries in Japan, China, France, Germany, Italy and the Benelux countries, plus a network of over 120 stock holding and fully trained distributors servicing all other developed countries. New distribution opportunities are always considered.

Export and Distribution
With over 80% of manufacturing output exported, Vision recognises the importance of strong distributor relationships and in 1991 received the Queen's Award for Export. Other accolades include the Prince of Wales Award for Technical Innovation in 1997 and a Queen's Award for Technology in 1974.

Patented Optical Technology

Vision Engineering holds world patents for optical techniques which remove the need for conventional binocular microscope eyepieces. These techniques are employed in Vision's Dynascope®, Expanded-Pupil and Spatial Imaging optical systems and offer users advanced ergonomics, optical clarity and reduced eyestrain leading to improved productivity and accuracy. An example of the benefit of eyepieceless optics can be illustrated in the success of Vision's Mantis stereo viewer.

Launched in 1994, the original Mantis was designed to fill the gap between a bench magnifier and a microscope. Since then, Mantis became the stereo viewer of choice, with in excess of 130,000 units installed worldwide.

Vision Engineering's new Mantis family was introduced in 2005 and has built on the success of the original.

Research and Development
In recent years, a substantial research and development programme has been the key to success, ensuring that new and existing products are continually developed to meet the needs of science and manufacturing. Vision Engineering continues to lead the way in optical innovation and technology with new products and technology continually under development.
