Re: microscope for electronics use


Mark Schoonover
 

I use these:

My Scope:
Scope HDMI Camera:
Hot Air Station:

I used to use one of those USB scopes and it worked ok. I didn't like
looking at a screen and not down on the board plus it's only 2D. I upgraded
to the scope and wow what a difference! I don't even switch to readers any
longer, I do all SMT work under the scope. Through hole the good old
fashioned way. :)

I use an AmScope SE400-Z Binocular Stereo Microscope. But I only use it
for parts that have a pin to pin spacing of 0.5 mm or less.

Everything else I use either 2.5X or 4.0X reading glasses. The smallest
resistors and capacitors I use are 0603 size. I design my PCBs for 1206
parts in most cases. I do tend to use 0603 for bypass capacitors that need
to be close to uP supply pins.
