Microscope Solutions for
PCB Manufacturing
Mounting Electronics Parts on the Surface
Mount the electronics parts on the PCB with a surface mounting machine. To do so, heat the PCB using a heating machine to melt solder on the PCB. The melted solder adheres the electronic parts onto the PCB.
Measuring Mounted Electronics Parts
Measuring the height of electronic components is important to help ensure the quality of PCBs.
Our Solution
The DSX1000 digital microscope can use 3D imaging and 45-degree tilt observation to measure the height of electronic components.

Checking for Whiskers
Growing whiskers often occur in wire bridges and can cause an electric short circuit. As a result, inspectors need to check for the presence of whiskers.
Our Solution
Our DSX1000 digital microscope provides 3D images and angled observation so you can easily find whiskers. It also enables you to observe a wider area than with a metallurgical microscope.
