Just 26 mm high but featuring 2 axis plus rotation. Use either stick for rotation around center axis. Twist the sticks to move the XY table with gear-reduced precision, all while keeping your eyes on the microscope.
Soldering small SMT components becomes a lot easier and improvement of quality of work can be expected.
