Re: Microscopes for SMD soldering etc
I called AmScope and talked to teck/customer service and ended up getting this one: https://www.amscope.com/3-5x-45x-simul-focal-stereo-lockable-zoom-microscope-on-single-arm-boom-stand.html Ordered

Re: Microscopes for SMD soldering etc .....5 DIOPTER reading glasses
I actually have a trial lens set, so I went and made up some 5 dipoter reading glasses just to see how it would be. You are right that this could work in a pinch, like pulling out a bee sting or a

Re: Microscopes for SMD soldering etc .....5 DIOPTER reading glasses
On this topic of binocular microscopes....... I learned a wee bit about high power reading glasses. The ones they sell over the counter have lenses that are defined as 1 or 1.25 or 1.5 or 1.75 or 2

Re: Microscopes for SMD soldering etc
A good 'scope will be equipped with one adjustable ocular. Even if both eyes are different (but not too much; I think +/-2), you should be able to focus with one eye, then adjust the other eyepiece

Re: This PCB Microscope looks good, I think.
Sounds perfect, but even with the .5 Barlow lens you may still sometimes want less. I usually solder with x4 and then flip to x8 for inspection as needed. But you can always get another lens or

Re: This PCB Microscope looks good, I think.
Dave, This model has the little lever next to the left eyepiece. When using the camera, you'll need to flip the lever to the camera losing viewing with your left eye. Also you'll need a .5 Barlow

Re: Microscopes for SMD soldering etc
With both eyes the same you don't really need to wear the reading glasses, since you can probably just adjust the focus of the microscope. You may still want to though, if you need the glasses for

Re: Microscopes for SMD soldering etc
I've got several scenarios that I use.? One is that I need to have a field of view big enough to handle a 20x20 144 pin TQFP. That's needed to center and sit on pins. Secondly, I need as much of a

Re: Microscopes for SMD soldering etc
Dave, You are correct, the view with the camera isn't exactly what you'll see through the eye pieces. The problem is that sliding barrel that's used to attach the camera to the body. I've purchased

Re: Microscopes for SMD soldering etc
Hi Rob, ? My PD is 62 as I measured once to get some reading glasses online, so I could use the lenses in an Occulus Rift. I checked out these scopes and they get good reviews. It gives me something

Hi Leon, ?? I looked at those too but they seem more expensive that the electronics scopes. I couldn't get their site to come up either. Thanks, Dave

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
