The manual construction of prototypes with SMD components has become quite a challenge. It is no longer possible to inspect the result with the naked eye, since the components used these days have become too small. In this situation, a microscope is a very useful tool to have. Apart from the standard, optical microscopes, there are many USB scopes available nowadays. We've tested one of these, the Andonstar V160, in the Elektor Labs.
Elektor Magazine has been one of the leading sources of information on electronics for engineers, designers, start-ups and companies for 65 years.
