You may need to add some dioptors to the camera lens (an ordinary magnifying glass works too) and certainly aim a desk lamp at the work. Then you aim the camera straight down and watch the work on a large computer monitor. I can make the smaller chips look 2 inches wide on my screen. It is more comfortable to use the big LCD monitor than a microscope. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
