The MS1000LW is a handheld, fast and easy to use inspection microscope from Special Application Products that can be used for highly cost-effective inspection of BGAs and other components.

A major advantage of the MS1000LW is that it has special lens technology with a magnification of x70 that remains constant throughout the focus range.

This combination of fixed magnification and increased focal length allows the microscope to provide a longer viewing distance than similar products of its type.

The focusing distance is from prism tip up to 15mm and the MS1000LW needs only a 1mm gap to enable an underneath view of a BGA device.

This means that when used under BGA components, more balls can be inspected in greater detail in less time.

When used with the powerful fibre-optic backlight, even more underside detail is revealed, and most BGA faults can be identified easily and quickly.

All backlights and MS1000 series microscopes can be fitted with 1mm prisms for minimum space applications and all units are supplied complete with necessary cables, power supply adapter, 2mm prism, straight lens, cleaning cloth and manual.
