Electronics Manufacturing and Repair
Rework benches, SMT lines and repair shops need magnification with clearance underneath, illumination without a shadow, and a camera so a defect can be shown to somebody else.
What Slows This Work Down
- Short working distance instruments leave no room for a soldering iron or hot air pencil
- A side lamp casts a shadow across the far row of a BGA or connector
- Defects have to be described in words because the bench has no camera
- Fine-pitch work is done at fixed magnification because changing objectives interrupts the job
What The Bench Actually Needs
- 0.7X to 4.5X zoom range with a working distance around 100mm
- Ring or coaxial illumination that does not throw a directional shadow
- A camera path that reaches a monitor or a PC without vignetting
- Boom or track stands that swing the optics away between jobs

View DetailsFrom Requirement To Configuration
Define the smallest feature
Pick the magnification band from the smallest feature you must resolve, not from the highest number in the datasheet.
Reserve the working distance
Decide what has to fit under the optics - iron, tweezers, probe, fixture - and let that set the objective.
Choose the light
Ring light for even coverage, segmented or coaxial where surface texture and engraving must show.
Add the imaging chain
Trinocular port, matching C-mount adapter and camera, chosen together so the field of view is not cropped.

Frequently Asked Questions
What working distance do I need for soldering under a microscope?
Around 100mm is the usual figure for hand soldering, which is what the standard 1X objective on the XSZ7045 body gives. Auxiliary objectives move it between 30mm and 165mm if your fixture needs more or less.
Can I add a camera to a microscope I already own?
Usually yes, if it has a trinocular port. The adapter range covers common stereo and inverted bodies from other brands. Send us the model and we will confirm which adapter fits.
Ring light or coaxial illumination for PCB inspection?
A ring light for general inspection because it removes directional shadow. Coaxial illumination when the surface is flat and specular and you need to read etching or laser marking.
Specify A Bench For Electronics Manufacturing and Repair
Tell us the task, the clearance you need and whether images are recorded. We will propose the instrument, the optics and the light together.
