I currently mostly use 1206, or occasionally 0805 size SMD, with an Optiplex head band magnifier. While it is “OK”, it is not so good for 0603 sizes which I need for boards working into the GHz range.
I note elsewhere on this forum a recommendation to use an Amscope SE410, rather than the SE400 model, as it was apparently more suitable in terms of working height for assembly/soldering of SMD components.
The Swift S41-20 maybe the same item as the SE410 with a different label. The Swift seems to be more readily available in the Uk (next day from Amazon).
While I can afford the Amscope SM-4B type of microscope, the size and weight don’t seem suitable for the space I have.
Any thoughts, or recommendations? Especially regarding the Swift model. Thanks.
