A system for inspecting components is provided. The system includes an axial
lighting
system that illuminates the component with axial lighting to allow one or more
features of the component to be located, such as by causing protruding features
to be brighter than the background and recessed features to be darker than the
background. An off-axis lighting system illuminates the component with off-axis
lighting in the absence of the axial lighting to allow the component to be inspected
to locate one or more features, such as a bump contact.
