Hi technet wizzes!

We're re-establishing our QC dept and I would
need to know what to look for in the solder
inspection departement.  What kind of microscope
should I look for?  According to the table in
IPC-A-610, I would need 10X mag. equipement, Is that
enough?  Most of our board are surface mount, be we
do have some through hole board done.

We have a 6X from Vision Engineering (Mantis) and
it is not sufficient (from my point of view) to inspect
certain soldered smd chip.

Any suggestions???
