Technical Specifications

Product Entity Overview

Product Applications

It is suitable for PCB circuit board maintenance, appearance inspection of 3C electronic components, quality inspection of precision hardware parts, observation of tiny defects on molds. It can also be used for jewelry and jade identification, antique specimen observation, laboratory sample analysis, disassembly and maintenance of mobile phones and precision instruments.

Difference from conventional body-mounted microscopes

Clamp mounting structure: Clamp installation saves the central space of the workbench. Most ordinary articulated microscopes use base support and occupy more space.

1/1.8" large target sensor: Stronger light-sensing capability, clearer imaging and better detail capture. Ordinary articulated microscopes are equipped with smaller sensors.

Dual-interface synchronous output: HDMI for monitor and USB for computer. Real-time preview and data storage & measurement can be carried out at the same time. Most ordinary models only have single output.

Trinocular synchronous viewing: Eyepiece viewing and screen display work synchronously, convenient for multi-person review and image storage. Ordinary articulated microscopes are mostly binocular for naked-eye observation only.

Software measurement function: Matching software can directly calculate dimensions such as length and angle. Ordinary articulated microscopes only support observation without measurement module.

26-171For which products is this detection range suitable?

1. Inspection of solder joints and traces on PCB boards: Observe micro solder joints, pins and fine traces of PCB. Detect cold solder joints, solder beads, copper foil scratches and solder mask damage, balancing field of view and detail clarity.

2. Quality inspection of electronic components: IC chips, connectors, resistors and capacitors. Check pin deformation, oxidation, package cracks and surface contamination for batch visual inspection in electronic workshops.

3. Micro defect inspection of precision hardware: Miniature turned parts, metal terminals and springs. Inspect burrs, chipping, micro surface cracks and coating pinholes or peeling.

4. Molding defect inspection of precision plastic parts: Connector housings and micro injection molded components. Observe sink marks, bubbles, weld lines, flash and surface scratches to evaluate molding quality.

5. Dimension measurement and comparison of tiny workpieces: With measurement software, measure gaps, line width and chamfers for sample comparison, defect analysis and dimension verification.

6. Micro observation of material specimens: Metal plating, fiber and coating samples. Observe surface texture and particle morphology for preliminary material analysis and teaching sample observation.

5. Dual-clamp Locking Structure

Stable clamping without tilting. Foldable swing arm, easy to install and dismantle, flexible for compact maintenance stations, laboratories and production line QC.

Daily Maintenance of the Microscope

· Optical Lens & Coaxial Light Window Care: Only use professional optical lens tissue or microfiber dust-free cloth to clean the lens and coaxial light optical window. Never use paper towels or rough cloth to avoid scratching optical coating. For fingerprints and oil stains, apply a small amount of optical cleaner to the cloth. Do not drip liquid directly onto optical components. Avoid touching optical surfaces with bare hands.

· Camera, Lens Barrel & Stand Maintenance: Clean the HD camera, monocular zoom barrel and metal column with dry dust-free soft cloth. Do not expose the unit to water. Keep alcohol, acetone and other strong corrosive solvents away to protect paint and printed marks. Keep HDMI and power connectors dry to prevent metal oxidation and poor contact. Do not pull signal cables forcibly.

· Stage & Focus Mechanism: Remove dust from the black stage with dry soft cloth. Clean dust on focus knobs and column guide rails regularly. A small amount of dry grease can be applied. Liquid lubricants are forbidden, to prevent oil dripping and contaminating coaxial light module and lens. Operate the focus knob gently, do not turn it forcibly to avoid gear damage.

· Power & Operating Environment: Use the original power adapter. Place the equipment in dry, low-dust environment, away from high temperature, humidity and heavy vibration. Power off and unplug power and HDMI cables when not in use for a long time.
