Abstract
The invention provides for an imaging apparatus for imaging integrated circuits and a respective integrated circuit carrier. This enables positional analysis to be carried out on the integrated circuits and respective carrier. The imaging apparatus includes a support structure, and a bed mounted on the support structure and displaceable along an operatively horizontal axis, the bed being configured to support a nest assembly that operatively retains the integrated circuit carrier and respective integrated circuits. Also included is a support assembly operatively mountable with respect to a bed on which the integrated circuit carrier and integrated circuits are supported, in use. The apparatus further includes an image recordal device mounted on the support assembly and configured to record an image representing the integrated circuit carrier and integrated circuits, the support assembly including an adjustment mechanism to enable adjustment of a position of the image recordal device relative to the bed.
