With hundreds of components mounted on to PCBs, it is crucial that (at least) batch inspection takes place, especially if the boards are new lines. A combination of different material (solders) and technology (including placement systems) result in different defects such as non wetting of the toe, paste alignment, popcorn cracking, cracked joints and poor reflow etc. The Lynx stereo inspection microscope allows for easy inspection of SMT / PCB, with a range of accessories to further simplify the inspection.

Mantis is a stereo microscope ideal for electronics PCB inspection and rework. The patented optical viewing head of Mantis provides unrivalled 3D images, plus significant ergonomic advantages, where fatigue and eye strain associated with working under magnification are eliminated.
