Hi, We are looking for a BGA inspection microscope. We had looked at one with a prism method trying to found a vendor for a fiber optic scope. I'm not sure which one is best. Any recommendation and suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks. IRAS

Try: * Caltex [www.bgascope.com] "Hirox" scope * ERSA [www.ersa.de] Ersascope

Thanks for your replies. We had looked at a microscope but it wasn't able to get a clear look at the middle solder bumps. I was just wondering if there is a microscope out there that would have that capability, or is that the best it gets.

I almost forgot to ask You: what is the purpose of the BGA inspection microscope? Perhaps we tell You stories that You alraedy know about... the ersascope we have is there to look funny and prove to the customer that we can check if we want to

I would look at the SMT Tools BGA-100 scope this is by far the most cost effective tool for the money. We use it in conjunction with our Glenbrook X-ray and get great results. Gary

Bought the Metcal scope. Rarely use it. Never have any issues with BGA. Prove out your process and unless you change something, it will collect dust. I know.

Look when it comes down to it. The Mini Micro Stencil Mini Mirror for $40.00 beats all and is the most cost effective inspection tool out there.

Hi, I have always wondered about these scopes and are they any good? They seem expensive when you consider you really only see the outside balls, and with small lead-less parts becoming more common, would the money be better spent on a good X-Ray?

I have never seen the image quality on the Ersa but the SMT Tools scope we have is definately good enough for spot checks. I have it hooked into my laptop to capture images which works ok.
