Steroscope microscope - Recommendation

[Charles Robison (Panama)]

I would like to know what Microscope do you guys recommend for
inspecting pcb boards, etc...

Thank you..

[Andrew Strilaeff]

That's easy, we have two of these:

 

6.7X-112.5X BINOCULAR STEREO ZOOM BOOM MICROSCOPE from

the ebay seller: precision*world

They have WIDE field of view, and if you wear glasses, it does not matter - you can still

focus sharply. They roughly $1000 and you don't need the camera unless you want to

capture images of your work.

 

On our first one, we bought a camera because I thought that I would just look at a 32" LCD
screen and do the work down below - NO, it's way too difficult and alot easier to just do your

microsoldering and inspections through the eyepieces.

 

Hope that helps!

Hi,

I use this one:
http://www.firebox.com/product/2161/USB-Microscope

It is quite cheap and good enough for the job.

I use this:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Seben-Incognita-Stereo-Microscope-PC-USB-Eyepiece-VGA-/380248372499?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Educational_Toys&hash=item588891b513#ht_6766wt_1137

I don't see a real need for something as big as the "BOOM ZOOM" but I
guess everyone has different needs. It also comes with a free USB
microscope. Good luck in your search : )

I need the boom zoom at my age, everything is blurry and dark

Okay, I will be the one to ask the dumb questions. I was in one of
Scott's early classes.  We mentioned looking with the naked eye for
burned chips.  Then, doing a board swap if bad chips were found.

Some of you guys are obviously way more advanced than that now. (I am a law encorcement computer forensics guy.  So, I spend my day digging in file systems.)

I would like to hear what you guys are using microscopes to do?  What
is the hard drive situation in which you find them useful?  Are you just
identifying a problem, or do you use it live to guide a repair?

Thanks!!

Chuck

Chuck, 

Examining pcbs for damage

Soldering/desoldering microcomponents (USB memory chips anyone?)

Ensuring solder joints don't overlap

Examining (removed) head assemblies for head damage

Are all just a few uses for such a device that I can quickly think of. I'm sure others may have more.

In addition to that, just today, I discovered a cracked tiny surface mount
resistor and on a usb flash stick I needed to get the part number of the

controller chip. No one would be able to do either task with the naked eye.
