Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] making SMT boards

What about those toy USB computer microscopes?

Mine isn't where I can get to it and I don't recall the name, but I
think it goes up to 100X power. I got it specifically to see if it
was suitable for inspecting SMT boards. Plus it only cost me $5 at
a garage sale.
