| - | Microprobing involves using a micro-positioner with a precision needle under a microscope to to either measure or induce voltages onto an IC. This is very similar to how you might use a multimeter on a circuit board but at a much smaller scale. | ||

| - | A probing station is essential for live analysis. The quality (tip size, stiffness, etc) varies considerably within and across manufacturers. Want to send me your equipment for an evaluation? I'll be more than happy to get some samples ;) This page is mostly focused on mechanical probing stations. Probing cards also might be useful, need to look into them. | ||
