X-ray Inspection & Acoustic Microscopy


For quality inspection of solderjoints under complex components such as BGA's and QFN's and for other hidden defects, X-ray can be used.
X-ray is also very suitalble for fast and reliable counting  of component quantity in SMD reels.

Acoustic Microscopy is another non descructive methode for quality inspection inside and under  complex devices and connections.
