I have a questions concerning the power of magnification that should be used
to inspect a populated assembly for particulate matter. I have reviewed the
IPC-A-610 and also the IPC-A-600 manuals for indication of what power of
magnification used to inspect lint, dross, etc. I really did not find an
answer, unless I am looking in the wrong place. It seems the naked eye would
be sufficient, but our manufacturing is telling us to inspect a 7X. If
anyone has an answer, we would appreciate it. Thanks.
