This gives a whole new insight to your microscope being on the Fritz.

On the Wednesday Whiskers Forum a year ago, one of our listeners said "I
just built a whiskers inspection system for $40." We all were amazed -
but he shared the info. Here from e-bay is the digital microscope
camera with built in lighting from Hong Kong (now $35, but they
increased shipping to $20):

ope_W0QQitemZ270521001945QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item

So, I zipped off my payment info to E-bay, and in a week, we had a
"digital microscope camera". However, we really struggled with moving
by hand or fixing the little stand and moving the board. We ended up
mounting the camera to the front of our regular binocular Fisher
microscope to supplement the digital camera on there.
Believe me, nothing moves in X, Y, directions and up/down with the base
stablity of a microsocpe.
The computer in the lab records the pictures from a little software
program - included. Ours came with a USB port from the camera, and I
think goes to 400X. Our microscope max objective is only 250X. But, you
would have to set up your own software program to measure things - based
on some "golden standard" of distance, like a reticle.
I will send a picture to Steve to post on his web site. Remember, this
is the "patent pending, high technology, Purdue student inspired"
el-cheapo.

Esteemed Forum -
Do any of you have input as to a great, but cheap, visual inspection
system?
I need a system that can easily inspect, from 10X to 150X, with the
capability
f also taking pictures. If it has the ability to measure inspection
areas,
nd/or the ability to measure solder paste height, that would be great -
but
t's not required. I've combed the archived forums for input, but all of
the
ecommendations I found were at least a few years old already.
And, let me repeat, it must be as cheap as cheap can be.
I found this - and it certainly fits the "cheap" requirement. Anybody
have
xperience with this sort of device that they wouldn't mind sharing?

look forward to your input.
