Aven's New Wide-View UV Magnifier with White & Ultraviolet LEDs
January 31, 2023 | AvenEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Aven, a full-service technology provider, is pleased to introduce its Wide-View Magnifier [2.25x | 4x] with Ultraviolet and White LEDs. Convenient and easy-to-use, Aven’s Wide-View UV Magnifier features a 3.6 x 1.7” rectangular glass, providing a wide viewing area. The 5-diopter lens offers up to 2.25X magnification, and the 1” diameter spot lens increases the magnification to 4X.
Operating at 365 ?m, the UV LEDs are exceptionally bright when illuminating objects that fluoresce, such as paper, ink, circuit boards, money, etc. The 26 UV LEDs shine brightly to reveal fluoresced details that standard lights cannot show.
The Wide-View Magnifier is ideal for dermatology, trauma, schools, ophthalmology, forensic science, hospitality/food industry, agriculture, and industrial inspection for detecting defects. The ESD-safe design helps to dissipate static electric charges, protecting sensitive components below from unintentional damage.
As a result of years of comprehensive research and development, Aven has expanded its expertise in the realm of design and customized configuration of advanced video inspection systems. The company’s solution-based experts possess the ability to recommend and create complete optical systems according to customers’ needs and budgets.

Connect the Dots: How to Avoid Five Common Causes of Board Failure
09/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsBoards fail for various reasons, and because I’ve been part of the PCB industry for a long time, I’ve seen most of the reasons for failure. As part of my ongoing crusade to help designers design for the reality of manufacturing, here are five common causes for board failure and how to avoid them.
Mastering PCB Floor Planning
08/28/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPlacement of PCB components is far more than just fitting components onto a board. It’s a strategic and critical foundational step, often called “floor planning,” that profoundly impacts the board’s performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. Floor planning ties into the solvability perspective, with performance and manufacturability being the other two competing perspectives for addressing and achieving success in PCB design.
Elementary Mr. Watson: Routing Hunger Games—May the Traces Be Ever in Your Favor
08/26/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonI’d like to share a harsh truth, and I say this as a friend: PCB designers are often their own worst enemy. It’s rarely the complexity of the circuit, the last-minute changes from mechanical, the limited enclosure space, or the ever-expanding list of design rules that send projects to the dust heap of failed boards. More often, it's our own decisions, made too quickly and narrowly, and with too little foresight, that sabotage an otherwise good design.
Target Condition: Floor Planning Without a Floor
08/27/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionBy a show of hands, how many PCB designers have been asked to start a layout without a board outline, keep-out zones, or even height constraints? How many have had to work within a specific enclosure before the schematic was finalized? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Starting a PCB layout without critical constraints is like hiring an interior designer to buy furniture and carpet for a house you haven’t even purchased yet, or, even worse, trying to fit four bedrooms' worth of furniture in a one-room cabin.
