\nThis technique is based on the use of a liquid colourant which soaks into the microfractures existing on the soldering. When the colourant is dried, the electronic components (BGA, condensers, resistances, etc.) are removed from PCB and the soldering are inspected: the presence of the colourant reveals the problematic areas at the level of connections of all the interfaces.

Furthermore, this test allows to check the correct soldering of components and to identify possible soldering voids.
\nThe X-Ray analysis allows to find factors which could not be noticed with a simple visual inspection. The evaluation can be performed both through 2-D oriented presentations and 3-D volumetric views.

\nThe cross section metallographic analysis is a destructive analysis which allows to check the right construction of the printed board by verifying the copper thickness in the inner layers and on the surface, the right application of solder mask, the metallisation of the inner holes, and the quality of the circuit boring.
\nThe sample is sectioned and integrated into a specific resin; then by further mechanical processing, and the lapping of the to-be-analysed surface, it is observed through the optical microscopy.<\/p>\n

SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) – EDX (Energy Dispersive X-Ray) Spectroscopy<\/h4>\n
\nWith the word EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis) Spectrophotometry we indicate an instrumental analytical method whose work is based on the interaction between a primary focused electron beam which beats the sample and the electrons of the atom that constitute the sample itself.
\nThe combined use of the two techniques allows the morphological characterisation (SEM) and the compositional one (EDX), and it provides with an instrument for the understanding of the composition of material structure.
