Microscope provides static-safe inspection
The new Lynx-ESD stereo eyepieceless microscope offers electrostatic discharge protection for inspection in the electronics and semiconductor industries.
The unit features a 34-degree-angled view oblique mode that can be simply switched to direct mode.
It is targeted at applications that benefit from a combination of direct and angled viewing such as electronics circuitry inspection.
The oblique mode allows a full 360-degree-view rotation around the centre point.
Coupled with the switchable direct view and the benefits of stereo viewing offered by the Lynx and Alpha systems, critical components or surface features can be easily inspected in three dimensions without moving the workpiece.
In electronics manufacturing and rework, this is ideal for inspecting PCB via holes, connectors, solder joints and solder bumps.
Two versions of the viewer are available.
The C-161 is finger-tip operated for swing in/swing out of the oblique-view mirror and for rotation, while the C-162 is motorised for both via a pushbutton control unit.
Both versions are easily retrofitted to Lynx or Alpha heads with a single thumbscrew fitting and are fully compatible with all accessories, including cameras and graticules. Request a free brochure from Vision Engineering ...
