Lynx EVO is a special microscope that gives sense of depth and has a large peripheral viewing angle due to its eyepiece-less design. It is mostly used to check your work after bonding and to save a reference image.
The Lynx EVO shares the computer screen with the FS bonder.
The source PC can be switched by pressing Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock, Enter on the keyboard.
Usage instructions
- Turn on the power supply on the left side of the microscope.
- Turn the knob on the power supply clockwise to increase the light intensity. 20% (one increment) of the scale is a good starting point.
- Place your sample under the microscope and check if you can see it.
- Adjust the focus by turning the double knob on the side of the microscope. The larger wheel adjusts the working distance coarsely, and the smaller does finer adjustments. You should be able to see your sample through the big eyepiece.
- If you cannot reach a reasonable focus, maybe your sample is too low/high? Even though it is possible to move the whole microscope, first try changing the vertical position of your sample. Try putting it on a small box if you had it on the workbench, and vice-versa.
- Adjust the zoom by turning the other knob on the side of the microscope.
- If you want to take a picture, use the uEye software on the Lynx PC.
- Note that the microscope shares the screen with the bonder. You can switch between computers by pressing
Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock, Enteron the keyboard.
