‘Microscope’

An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release Hot-Beam-05 underheater for reworked components from Link Hamson, which we summarised at the time by saying "Link Hamson is introducing the Martin Hot-Beam-05 underheater for stress-free rework and manual soldering.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Semrock offers free laser-engraving service from Semrock: "Semrock, a manufacturer of optical filters, now laser-engraves its catalogue dichroic beam splitters at no extra charge.".
 
In December 2008, we covered the news from EV Group - take a look at EVG offers EVG-NT mask and bond aligners which says: "EV Group (EVG) has introduced the NT series of mask aligners, wafer-to-wafer (W2W) bond aligners and measurement systems. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Semrock, Semrock expands fluorescence filter range, as well as Real-time behaviour under the microscope from Express Logic, and Fibre optic test kits avoid dirt-based downtime from JDSU.
