How to Remove Microscope Glare and Light reflections with the Anti Glare Light

[@nelson1667]

If my business was doing better I would be placing a huge order. Have learned almost everything I know about soldering from you. Thank you.

[@Andrew-yw8vz]

How’s the repair business treating you? I’ve been interested in starting my own. Maybe not so much in board repair, but general PC/ Laptop repair

I'm opening my own business to Bro, there will always be up and downs, Keep your head up and revise and evaluate components of your business that you may improve. I'm always doing that. Sales, get out there, papers, make a web site, its cheap. Always give your business a "GODS EYE VIEW" you'll make it I Promise. just make sure you never stop the fight getting your business where you want it to be. When you stop, everything stops, no ones going to do it for you what I've learned. Fellow businessman, good luck my Friend...

Soldering businesses is good if you work harder , and have good connections

[@Roctrin]

Here are some "poor man's lab" ideas for you-- 1. use flexible LED desk lamps 2. buy the cheapest pair of polarized glasses you can, and tape them over the objective lens of the microscope you're using. Polarized light can obtain the same glare-reducing effect as oblique lighting. (If you're using a stereoscope where the light from the surface is going from the workpiece into your eyes, not from the workpiece into a camera, then into a screen, you could try wearing polarized glasses when you look through the scope). 3. If you need diffuse lighting, use tape and printer paper to make reflectors. One example would be to make a kind of wall around the microscope stage, then use your external lighting on the outside of the paper. This will give you diffuse lighting. None of these options are going to give you the best results like you'd get with tools designed for the task like what Northridge is selling here. But if business is hard, every dollar counts! I'd discourage you from taking this kind of bootleg approach to cost reduction when it comes to your consumables (flux & solder) and measurement tools (e.g. multimeter). GL

[@johnhauser5939]

I just got into the repair business to make up some income for the new tax laws. I have been doing my soldering with magnifying glass and I cannot wait till the day when I can afford a microscope. That is a luxury that I do not have and I do not have the budget for one yet either. I love your videos and can not thank you enough. You do more good then you will ever know and you inspire me every day. Thank you

[@filipsz6728]

After one year of using this kind of microscope and camera I discovered that this kind of work is an art by basicly playing with light to ajust the proper image quality. I am also using both ring and gooseneck light. Also I figured out that better results are when using them both with high quality polarizing filter. Image is then super bright and without reflections.

[@ajsurkhi4468]

What is high polarize lens?

[@bryanswaggbeast4594]

Bro answer him

[@workingonthatphone]

I thought, it was a special antiglare microscope image processing but finally a simple physical light angulation , we learn from you Alex in every video

[@wmhprater1]

Very informative for me. I also do appreciate when you let it known that you sell the equipment or special tools and where to go to get them. Thanks

[@robertopontone]

would a polarized filter on the microscope lens remove the glares too?

[@volvo09]

I'm going to guess he already is using one. The way the flux practically disappears and makes the board look dark when the side light is on looks to me like he has a polarizer on there.

[@consolechips]

@@volvo09 he has ever mentioned a polarizing filter , unless you come from a photography background most people have no idea about a polarizing filter .

[@SiegeX1]

I was expecting him to say he had a polarizing filter that magnetically snaps to the scope and that made the clicking noise. I honestly think this is the better solution and requires no power.

[@Flamenawer]

Yes, you can

[@Socal_fix]

I have a ring light with polarizer and the answer is no it does help but not that much

[@ksdls2002]

The laws of physics are clear. This is the same issue in photography: good understanding and good use of lightening system give you good images from your lens. That is nice Alex. I am waiting for price.

[@demontekdigital]

Click the link in the description. It's $135.00 down from $149.00

[@Eisernes_bierchen]

There were some videos in the past where I thought "whoaa, how he did this magic now", thanks for the explanation man

[@jeffk3192]

i"d assume a polarizer might help quite a bit with glare too.

[@OnStageLighting]

Of all the things I've learned here, this isn't one! I don't have a great microscope or fancy ring light but I have always had great lighting. Also noticed that most techs on KZbin know squat when it comes to this basic principle. 🙂 Great job with the products.

[@MrOrangeman18]

ive had this light for a few years. its great. mine is mounted on a custom made 3d printed boom mount so it goes where ever the camera goes. its a game changer

I am using side lights on my video microscope doing microsoldering too:-) That indeed works better. Being a photographer helped me too. This also makes reading références on IC's a lot easier ;-)

[@Leif_YT]

Yes, or using polarizer like in photography. They can be very powerful at removing reflections as well.

[@sedrickgates1]

@@Leif_YT yep, but theybar not great a direct 90°light. They are quite selective and eat-up a lot of the light ;-)

[@corym.4971]

I was actually betting on it being a polarized filter, we use polarized sunglasses for fishing to see under the water past the glare/reflections and I've even seen a camera that had one such that it could see inside a window during the day that without it you just see sky/reflections. Well made unit though, glad it works so well for you!

[@dannyboy643ify]

What causes people to break traces/pads? I have not worked on chips before, but I am about to get the tools (hot air gun, teflon ptfe tape as someone recommended) to replace a ps3 nec tokin capacitor

[@sakisgri2165]

By pulling on the component before solder melts. But nec tokin are different story its almost impossible to melt the solder to get them off as 1 piece, it can be done but you need very good tools. The easy way is you rip them off piece by piece. Just look up replacing nec token on PS3 watch a few vids before you do it and choose the method you are comfortable with. NSC Modz has good tutorials on ps3, but watch other channels/methods too.

Hi guys.I have a question.How can I test if DVI port from monitor is working?With multimeter.I bought already 2 cables and I think that the monitor port is bad not the one from video card

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

You don't even need a multimeter for that. You use a second monitor. If you have an image on a known to function monitor then your problem is indeed either on the DVI port of the monitor or in your monitor's board. If you don't have an image on the second monitor just like on your own monitor, then the fault might be in the port of the video card. Remember this: whatever you may think is bad, may be totally wrong and it might set you on a wrong path. Things are not as simple as you think www.networktechinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/DVI-connectors-type.jpg In reality, the ports all look the same or almost the same but they are very different.

[@Mueller3D]

Keep in mind that a DVI port has two ports combined into one: It has analog pins and digital pins. Your source, cable, and monitor, all need to match regarding whether it's using analog or digital.

[@mensaswede4028]

A ring light is great if the microscope is like an inch or two away from the workpiece. But with Barlow lenses, the idea is to move the microscope lens away from the workpiece, and it makes the ring light useless for shiny objects.

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

@@NorthridgeFix You may have not the time to train someone but you probably will have to, at some point. Whoever is qualified at your level already has a working place (own repair business or employed). If you think of it, you already train others by doing all these KZbin clips. You only need someone who is qualified enough to be able to learn from you only by having donor boards to practice on them, asking you questions or just by watching and listening to you when you explain things then practice again what they learned and, of course, learning from their own mistakes. I believe it is easier than you think to train someone. You only need to find the right person.

The type of light is also important. You didn't know this but now you do. Sometimes people who don't actually know think they know just because they don't know how much they don't know. The angle is important and the wavelength(s) is also important. The intensity of light is also very important. I can safely say that buying it from the store gives you the best possible and the most useful product because it was built on the specifications asked by someone who really uses it every day.
