What is Parfocal?
Parfocal is the ability of the microscope to remain in focus for the entire zoom range of the microscope.

How to make your microscope parfocal.
Making your microscope parfocal is very easy but you must follow this series of steps in order for it to work.
1.  Zoom your microscope to the maximum magnification and carefully adjust the focus.
 2.  Zoom your microscope to the minimum magnification and it should remain in focus. If it does not, then adjust the eyepieces individually to get the clearest image for each eye. Repeat steps one and two and your microscope should now remain parfocal. If someone else uses the microscope, then they will have to adjust the eyepieces to their individual eyes.

Last year was the Year of the Microscope
This year may even be better

More and more businesses are purchasing Microscopes and Video Inspection Stations for their intricate rework, repair and inspection jobs. Scienscope has the most complete and inexpensive line of optics in the industry, which allowed us to become one of their top selling distributors in the USA. Achieving this status has also given us some new opportunities. It will allow us to pass on to you, our best customer, some of our terrific savings on our newest and most popular Microscope. A system specifically designed for  you and the Electronics Industry.

You simply cannot believe how much production can be achieved when you can actually see what is going on. It is so easy to think you can see, but when you get the proper magnification, a whole new world appears under the microscope. Things that would be nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. You can easily find cold solder joints, cracked PC boards, suspicious solder joints, voids, solder bridges, etc. You can even re-solder the very fine pitch IC's and chips and actually see what you are doing. 

If you have never looked under a microscope or video inspection station, a whole new world appears before you that you have been missing all these years. As electronics technology gets smaller and smaller, you will eventually be forced to purchase some type of magnification for your business to survive. Why not purchase from the manufacturer who designed it for you and the distributor that recognizes your needs of the future.... And remember, the future is here now.

Testimonial from a customer who specifically thanked us for the Scienscope Microscope

Back in the 1970's I listened to another servicer tell me that he had just purchased an ESR meter and it was the best $100 he had ever spent. 20 some years later we attribute the savings of thousands of hours of traditional trouble-shooting time to this purchase.

Now it is my turn to share the results of an item that we recently purchased which has already saved us numerous hours of traditional trouble-shooting time and is currently used many times each day. After seeing Jerry Howard's impressive display at the NESDA Trade Show last August, Jerry insisted on sending one of his Scienscope microscopes on a 30 day trial. Pushy salesman maybe but true friend definitely!!

We have mounted it on a rolling cart so that it can be used by any technician servicing any product. We can actually see an unsoldered or cracked surface mount component, examine the space between each lead of a 100 pin surface mount IC, see open traces caused by leaking fish caps as well as the fine ring caused by poor solder around a component lead. We even repair fine PCB foil cracks while viewing our work under the microscope.

While the purchase price of this item was not cheap, I believe that we have already recovered its cost in valuable time saved during the first 6 months of use. I highly recommend that every serious service center consider the purchase of a Scienscope microscope.
