Features To Look While Selection
| Feature | Why It Is Important | What To Look For |
| Magnification Power | The core of PCB inspection lies in the ability to clearly visualise fine details like solder joints, micro-traces, and potential defects. Most standard inspections require magnification in the range of 10x to 100x, while high-density or multilayer PCBs may demand up to 500x-1000x for inspecting micro-components or BGA (Ball Grid Array) connections. | • Optical zoom vs digital zoom (optical preferred for clarity) • Zoom range adjustability (smooth, click-less control preferred) • Crisp edge-to-edge clarity without spherical or chromatic distortion |
| Working Distance | Working distance refers to the space between the microscope’s objective lens and the PCB. A longer working distance allows ample room for soldering, rework, or probe testing without disturbing the focus. | • 70mm to 100mm is considered optimal for electronics inspection and hands-on work |
| Lighting | Clear visibility is essential to identify hairline cracks, poor solder joints, or oxidation. LED ring lights and oblique-angle lighting help reduce reflections from metallic surfaces and enhance contrast. | • Adjustable LED intensity (with dimmers) • Coaxial or side lighting for depth inspection • Polarised light filters to reduce glare • Choose microscopes with dual-lighting systems (top and bottom) for both opaque and translucent PCBs |
| Ergonomics | An ergonomically designed microscope reduces fatigue and eye strain, leading to faster and more accurate inspections. | • Eyepiece free design offering freedom of head movement and use of spectacles • Tiltable viewing heads or trinocular tubes • Adjustable height stands • Anti-fatigue posture design for prolonged sessions |
| Digital Connectivity | Modern digital microscopes streamline documentation, remote collaboration, and quality control. USB or HDMI output allows real-time display on monitors, and onboard cameras support high-resolution image and video capture. | • 1080p or 4K HDMI camera output • USB-C or USB 3.0 connectivity • Built-in software for image annotation and measurement • Wi-Fi/Cloud integration (for advanced collaborative workflows) |
Types of Microscopes
| Type | Description | Key Applications in Electronics | Magnification Range (Typical) | Advantages | Limitations |
| Stereo Microscope | Uses two optical paths for 3D visualisation with a wide field of view | Inspecting PCBs, solder joints, wire bonding, and component alignment during assembly and rework | 5x–80x | • 3D depth perception for soldering/rework • Easy to use, wide field view • Compatible with ESD-safe benches | • Limited magnification • Not suitable for nano-scale inspection |
| Compound Microscope | High-magnification light microscope with multiple objective lenses for 2D imaging | Examining fine circuit traces, contamination, and micro-cracks in semiconductors | 40x–1000x | • High resolution imaging • Good for fine details in thin films and defects | • Flat 2D view (no depth) • Requires thin/transparent samples |
| Inverted Microscope | Views sample from below; suitable for larger/mounted specimens | Inspecting encapsulated PCBs, coated wafers, or layered semiconductor processes | 40x–400x | • Can handle bulky/mounted samples • Useful for live processes or coated layers | • Moderate magnification • Bulkier and costlier than stereo microscopes |
| Metallurgical Microscope | Uses reflected light for opaque/metallic surfaces | Inspecting metal interconnects, solder balls, welds, wafers for cracks or impurities | 50x–500x | • Excellent for opaque and reflective surfaces • Identifies cracks, voids, inclusions in metals | • Limited to surface inspection • Less effective for transparent samples |
| Polarising Microscope | Uses polarised light to enhance contrast in birefringent materials | Studying stress patterns, crystalline defects, thin film alignment | 10x–400x | • Highlights stress and crystalline structures • Useful for materials R&D | • Niche application • Requires specialised training |
| Digital Microscope | Integrates optics, camera, and display; may include software for measurement and reporting | Documentation, training, defect reporting, and high-volume inspections in production lines | 20x–500x (variable zoom) | • Easy sharing and recording • Software-enabled measurement • Useful for remote collaboration | • Lower optical quality than dedicated optical scopes • May have lag or resolution limits |
| Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) | Uses electron beams for ultra-high-resolution (nano-scale) imaging | Failure analysis, nano-defect detection, material studies, wafer surface morphology | Up to 100,000x+ | • Extremely high resolution • Enables material composition analysis (with EDS add-on) • Critical for advanced semiconductor R&D | • Very expensive • Requires vacuum and skilled operators • Slow compared to optical scopes |
| Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) | Uses a sharp probe to scan the surface at the atomic level, measuring forces between the tip and sample | Nano-scale surface characterisation, thin film measurement, defect detection in semiconductors, and 3D surface profiling | Up to ~1,000,000x (atomic resolution) | • Provides true 3D topographic images • Can measure mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties at nano-scale • Works in air, vacuum, or liquid environments | • Very slow scan speed • Limited scan area • Delicate probes and high operator skill required • Very high cost |

| Key IPC Standards |
| IPC standards ensure visual inspections meet quality benchmarks, with microscope usage tied to magnification and resolution requirements. Key standards include: • IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies): Defines visual criteria for assemblies, requiring magnification aids (e.g., 1.75x–4x for general inspection, up to 10x for fine details). It influences microscope selection—digital systems for documentation, binocular for precise work—and mandates lighting and training. • IPC-J-STD-001 (Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies): Specifies inspection methods, including microscope use for solder joint evaluation • IPC-A-600 (Acceptability of Printed Boards): Focuses on PCB appearance and structure, recommending microscopes for internal inspections. • IPC-TM-650 (Test Methods Manual): Provides guidelines for evaluating PCBs, including visual methods under magnification. • IPC-OI-645 (Optical Inspection Guidelines): Defines requirements for optical inspection of electronic assemblies, covering magnification ranges, resolution, lighting, and calibration. It guides the use of binocular, digital, or AOI systems for consistent defect detection and stresses operator training for reliable inspection results. For full IPC standards, visit ipc.org |
