@jana, I think you were mentioning a microscope for FAFO at some point?

Basic setup is there, still needs:

Simple X/Y stage for coarse positioning (regardless of eg. #63)
Power supply for the illumination LED (0-300mA in 10mA increments or so)
Instructions on how to operate / automate camera.
Better image acquisition quality (the EOS 450D mounted there isn't great, but maybe adding a teleconverter to get a better crop will help at least a bit)
Cleaning of the optics

@rahix not sure if this microscope is suitable for PCB rework. You do not have much room underneath the optics.
Most repair shops use the AmScope SM-4NTP.

@hugo I was also thinking more about the other microscope we have. But maybe we should use separate elements to distinguish between them, yeah. Will do.
