Micro3Dslices produces superior laminography results and automatic analyzes the slice-by-slice images in less than 40 sec. per part. Uses virtual rotation axis to allow the region of interest to be chosen at any point on the large inspection area. Provides constant inspection results. For semiconductor and wafer inspection, 2D imaging and other inspection routines including QFN inspection.

Tweezers Type meters including LCR-Reader now available with calibration fixture that conducts traceable calibration. Uses 14 known components of different types that lay within the applicable measurement ranges. When calibrated device is connected and activated, fixture connects to a different component which the calibrated LCR-meter or LCR-Reader measures, with results appearing on the meter's display which are then compared to the known values of the component. Two calibration fixture versions available: 4-wire or 2-wire connections. Is less sensitive to parasitics on fixture's PCB and measures values that previous calibration fixture could not.

EO-B series hand- and dip-soldering fluxes are alcohol-based and range in solids content from 1.8% to 3%. Are designated ORL0 or REL0. Meet DIN EN 61 190-1-1 with L0 classifications for corrosion behavior, halogen-free, and surface resistivity of uncleaned flux residues. EO-B-001 has very good process properties during hand soldering; EO-B-002 and EO-B-003 are for wave and selective soldering; EO-B-004 low solids flux is for all soldering methods and ensures minimal residues and clean appearances. EO-Y flux is not based on pure alcohol but on a mixture of alcohol and water.
