Scienscope International

Scienscope provides reliable general purpose optical and video inspection solutions for the electronics and PCB industries. We began with basic stereo zoom microscopes used for SMT inspection and rework of circuit boards and electromechanical assemblies with a commitment to quality, value, and support. Scienscope has evolved to become a complete inspection solution provider offering microscopes, measurement systems, machine vision, and x-ray.

Our customer requirements lead to the evolution from basic stereo microscopes to trinocular microscopes and micro-video optics with CCTV camera systems for more comfortable viewing of applications. Later with the addition of image capture options (analog video capture cards and simple USB cameras) microscopes became valuable tools for documentation and communication of defects, process issues, and solutions. Scienscope has further realized the development of these advancements by adding image capture and digital viewing of applications to all the systems that we provide.

Scienscope began our most significant new product development in 2000, micro-focus x-ray, due to increasing popularity of the Ball Grid Array. Scienscope’s X-Scope line now features five machine platforms to meet the needs circuit board, medical device, solar panel, metal casting, LED, automotive, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Scienscope systems include a range of 90kv to 160kv micro-focus x-ray tubes (down to 1 micron focal spot), digital flat panel image detectors (4096 shades of grey), programmable motion control (up to 6 axis manipulation), and intuitive inspection and measurement software.
