SMD Components Under the Microscope

Posted on 2016-08-11 by Lucky Resistor

Today I took some photos from common SMD components using a microscope. From naked eye, this components look so tiny and fascinating perfect. Looking at them using a microscope, they do not look that perfect anymore.

I cropped the pictures to make the picture better visible at lower resolutions. I always put a scale, which measures 1mm, on each photo. See each picture caption for a description of the component and more details.
