Originally created while researching basic microscopes for McMaster SCA/FI workstation. These need to see a rough idea of a die position, but not resolve individual transistors. Goals were:
- Light enough to mount on 3018 Pro CNC Z axis
- Compact => not get in the way of other tools such as laser
- Relatively inexpensive (no more than $300?)
USB microscope
Dino-Lite
These are the most common professional option in this category. Common models appear to be the AM2111 (basic, ~$100) and AM3111 (more LEDs, variable brightness, $150). However they have relatively low resolution (0.3 MP)
McMaster: ordered "Dino-Lite Premier2 1280x1024 USB Microscope AD-4013MT" for $300 on eBay. With a 1.3 MP camera I'm hoping this will produce a pretty decent image.
Modular tube
These can be used to make custom microscope assemblies. Some of these support epi illumination as well as ring illumination.
Optem
They make
