Why is magnification considered a prerequisite for surface-mount (SMD) repair rather than a luxury?

Select one answer.

• Because microscopes look professional on a bench.
• Because modern SMD parts (0402, 0201, 01005, fine-pitch ICs) are too small to inspect, place, or solder reliably by the naked eye — you can't fix what you can't see.
• Because magnification makes soldering irons hotter.
• Because SMD parts are only sold with microscopes.
