Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Through Hole microscope

Balan, are you a home brewer doing plated through hole ?
Not many are going to this level so I was curious what your
accomplishments are.

The microscope you mentioned sounds kind of specialized. I don't
think you will find something similar, unless of course you know
how the optics function in the device, and look for low cost mass
produced item with similar optical arrangement that's designed
for another purpose. What was the price for the through hole
microscope ?

I found one at this website http://www.startinternational.com/pdf/Optical/31a_OPGCP875.pdf but it is expensive. Does anyone know where i can get a similar instrument at a cheaper rate? Is there any similar instrument?
