In the electronics quality control (QC) process by which entities review the quality of all factors involved in production, a visual product inspection is often performed. Here, every product is examined visually, often using a microscope due to the miniaturization before the product is sold into the external market. Inspectors will be provided with lists and descriptions of unacceptable product defects such as cracks or surface blemishes. Using a digital microscope enables the inspector to faster detect product defects by checking the magnified boards in FULL HD image quality.
For lots of materials, the moisture content is very important to know before processing them. Moisture balances are a special type of scales mainly used in laboratories in the industrial sector.
