Auto-Focus Inspection Measurement 3D BGA HighPower Applications Models Specifications

New Auto Focusing 

The Auto-Focusing feature on a digital microscope makes routine inspection faster and easier. The user can choose from continuous auto-focus, one-click auto-focus, or manual focus. By clicking any area of interest on the screen the camera will automatically focus within a fraction of a second without manually moving the focus block up and down for tedious focusing. This new feature makes the LX-100 HD USB microscope more ergonomic than ever before.
