We use a regular stereo microsope, mounted on a table that provides
x,y,z positioning, with a Panavise circuit board holder under it. Two
stage magnification, not sure exact values, maybe 20X/40X? Got the setup
from Edmund Scientific some years back, similar to this product:

It is sufficient for rework on 0402 components as well as .5mm pitch
TQFP, etc. Your tech needs to have a very fine soldering tip and steady
hands!
