Get yourself a web-cam or an used "DV" video camera with a firewire cable
(Sony had a difference name or it "xxxlink" maybe?) You may need to add
some dioptors to the camera lens (an ordinary magnifying glass works too)
and certainly aim a desk lamp at the work.
Then you aim the camera straight down and watch the work on a large
computer monitor. I can make the smaller chips look 2 inches wide on my
screen. It is more comfortable to use the big LCD monitor than a
microscope.
