I got one of the 800x platform mounted scopes for home work, it does a 
good job although I have not purchased any special software for it. 
Just what I found for free on the internet.    Relief is only about 3 
inches so you can't solder under it but it works well for inspection. 
The ones we use at work for soldering and inspection are made by 
Scienc-scope  and have 12 inches of relief.
