I've just received a cheap (75 GBP) stereo dissecting microscope I ordered
for SMD assembly - I use a lot of fine pitch devices with 0.5 mm lead
spacing (not on home-made PCBs, of course).
Looking at some of my boards through it I can see that my soldering
techniques need a lot improvement - it's surprising that I can get anything
to work. 8-)
