Hi Stefan,
? That Mantis looks great but way out of my price range. My eyes
are fairly functional but I am far-sighted and use reading
glasses. Both eyes are the same so figure 20-20 but far-sighted.
By the way, can you wear reading glasses when using a microscope
or does the scope take away that problem and you just dial it in?
I did enough research not to want a digital microscope for various
reasons.
Thanks,
Dave

I use a Mantis Elite at work every day for
soldering.
It resolves exactly what you mentioned, that the view
disappears, because it has very wide field eyepiece area (you
look into a single "screen").
Of course it costs real money, but I wouldn't want to miss
it.
You definitely want an optical stereo microscope, at least
if both of your eyes are still somewhat functional.
A 2D digital image does not compare for soldering.

Anybody
using a microscope made for soldering? I finally realized I
need
to be able to see better, and I will pay for the needed fix. I
don't
think I want a USB style that has the little monitor/display
but rather
something like these:
Anyone use one? The only con I see often complained about is
if you
don't hold your head just right, the view disappears, kind of
like with
a rifle scope on high power.
Thanks
