The ones on EBAY are 20x - 40x on a boom with a 12 watt ring light. Yeah the fiber optic light will definitely run the price up. These are looking like the best deal around. I was hoping somone on here would know of a used equipment dealer or somethi

Does anyone have a good source for inspection microscopes? I want something with a lot of zoom. I want to be able to zoom in on one 0603 resitor joint. I am not sure what the magnification on that would be. Anyway that would be what I would want, but

Good luck with that. If you can find a source for 10X-40X zoom scopes on a boom stand with a fiberoptic illuminator for $200 let me know. The light systems new are about $250. As a point of reference, I think we paid about $2k for a Meiji system l

Hola We do AOI for most of our products, but a few ones goes to visual inspection only... -I have the inspection stations with a magnifier & some with a microscope. -I also use an "inspection mask" which has been very useful, it actually covers the P

You can buy plenty of paste height measuring systems today, ranging from full 3D laser systems to systems using an oblique light line which will measure the paste height only. I found that the lowest cost option was to attach a DTI to the focus contr
