I have high 5 figures invested into a home soldering lab. I use a
digital video scope now, however for 5-6 years before that, I used this
scope nearly every day for mostly 0402/.5 mm pitch soldering and repair:

Along with these eye pieces:

The combination with swing arm allows me to move the scope anywhere on
my work bench and gives a use-able work height of up to 18 inches
underneath.
I highly recommend it.

P.S. Disregard the camera. I thought it would be useful when I bought
it, but never once used it.

At the moment I have one of these:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/22w-fluorescent-magnifying-craft-lamp-a29ff [3] which
I find OK, but sometimes it gets in the way of the soldering iron and it
isn't that easy to move it to a position and have it actually stay there.
