TAGARNO Image Comparison App Transforming Quality Control
June 20, 2023 | TagarnoEstimated reading time: 1 minute

TAGARNO, a leading provider of digital microscopes, is pleased to offer the innovative Image Comparison App. Designed specifically for digital microscopes, this intuitive app empowers users to create their own image library, enabling seamless and accurate product comparisons during quality control processes in the electronics industry.
Quality control, especially during exit control, plays a crucial role in ensuring the final approval or rejection of electronic products. With the Image Comparison App, TAGARNO provides a powerful tool that simplifies and enhances the PCB comparison process against golden samples. By leveraging the app’s features, operators can make informed decisions quickly and effectively.
The Image Comparison App allows users to choose between previously saved images or capture and add new photos to the image library as needed. This flexibility ensures that operators have access to the most relevant images for comparison purposes. By using the app’s intuitive interface, operators can view and analyze images in various display modes, including side-by-side or alternate display in a user-defined interval.
“To achieve the highest level of quality control, it is essential to have reliable, efficient tools that facilitate accurate product comparisons,” said Jake Kurth, Country Manager, Americas at TAGARNO. “Our Image Comparison App is specifically designed to enhance the capabilities of digital microscopes, enabling users to effortlessly create and manage their image library for seamless comparisons during quality control processes. We believe that this app will revolutionize the way electronic products are evaluated, saving time and improving overall efficiency.”
To maximize the benefits of the Image Comparison App, TAGARNO recommends using a mouse for smooth navigation and control. For the best results, users can also integrate a keyboard and an XY table to further enhance their experience and precision.

The Death of the Microsection
06/26/2025 | Bob Neves, Reliability Assessment Solutions, Inc.I got my start out of college grinding and polishing PCB microsections. My thumbs are a bit arthritic today because of the experience (microsection grinders know what I mean). Back then, via structures were rather large, and getting to the center in six steps of grinding and polishing was easy compared to what my team has been doing recently at the lab.
