Greetings everyone, when I watch Northridgefix videos while under the microscope Alex says "remove the glare" after that the view is much clearer. Can anyone justify what exactly happens and how to remove the glare?
Thanks alot.
I think he is either turning light out, or removing some of the light.
Hi, I just popped in here to ask this exact question after watching Alex apply flux then say, let me just remove that glare, I'm having the exact same problem perfect scope view until I apply flux then I have so much glare from the ring light on my scope I really find it hard to see what I'm doing, any help or advice with this would B much appreciated.
You need different light sources. When he says lets remove the glare he is turning off a light source aka his ring lamp on his microscope.
I hope that helps you.
Really Is that a canned answer?
Hi Anterweb. I'm no pro at this but my AmScope has a 4 zone ring light wieh a little controller where you can turn on or off any of or all 4 sets of LEDs in the ring. When I've got a board wet with flux or cleaner, sometimes I have to switch off certain groups of LEDs to be able to see w/o the "glare" covering everything up. If you're interested I believe the Amscope light is something like model LED-144A if I recall correctly. Otherwise, you may have to experiment a bit with perhaps shining a light from the side or something to get around that glare problem. Hope this helps!
Polarized filter to attach to the scope where the light enters, just like what they use on telescopes or cameras. It's basically the same as wearing polarized sunglasses when driving.
