  • Observation and Measurement of PCB

    Advancements in technology have led to smaller, thinner devices like smartphones, tablets, and wearables. As a result, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and components have also become denser and more complex. 

    Consequently, it has become more difficult to observe fine parts (such as through holes, lands, and pads) and measure 3D shapes (surface irregularities) for the research and development and quality assurance of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and printed wired boards (PWBs)

  • Why use a digital microscope?

    It provides more information than conventional imaging and measurement systems, enabling users to make better decisions in less time.

    The VHX Series digital microscope allows even first time user to quickly capture high-resolution images and accurate measurement of through holes and lands on PWBs that are essential in improving the PCB reliability. All the images and data can be automatically exported to a report, reducing the amount of time it takes for analysis.

Observation and Measurement of Printed Boards

  • Tilted observation of through holes

    Optimum lighting conditions: Ring illumination + depth composition (100x)

    The VHX Series can also automatically determine the optimum lighting conditions using the Multi-lighting function, which obtains images captured with omnidirectional lighting.

    The following image shows the inside of a through hole using tilted observation, which is difficult to illuminate, using a combination of ring illumination and backlighting. Even microscopic defects such as copper foil peeled from the hole surface can be closely observed.

  • Observation of surface irregularities on lands

    Left: Ring illumination (150x)/Right: Optical Shadow Effect Mode image (150x)

    There are subtle surface irregularities on copper-plated land surfaces that are difficult to capture due to low contrast.

    The VHX Series digital microscope is equipped with Optical Shadow Effect Mode, which easily captures high-contrast images that rival a scanning electron microscope (SEM), while eliminating the need for preparation such as vacuuming. The surface conditions can be closely observed and evaluated using an image emphasizing the surface irregularities.

  • 3D measurement and profile measurement of defective plating on lands

    Ring illumination + HDR image (200x)/3D measurement and profile measurement

    Defective lands on PWBs can cause PCB malfunctions or problems in the component mounting process and are difficult to measure using contact measuring instruments or conventional microscopes.

    The VHX Series digital microscope can quickly capture accurate 3D measurements at sub-micron levels of uneven shapes, subtle surface irregularities and roughness just by clicking at the specified locations on the image.
