   Testing out a new toy! Early access demo of a Labsmore X1 CNC microscope. This is a purpose built tool for large area, high resolution optical imaging.

   Should be awesome for silicon reversing work.

     It's alive! Here's a PIC16C62A they included with the system as a demo specimen.

     This scan is 108 separate frames and only took about three and a half minutes to acquire.

     Next, our old friend the Microchip PIC12F683. About 90 seconds for 40 frames.

     Microchip 23K256. 20 frames and was done before I checked back on it.

     And it's crashing ImageJ. Guess I'll look at that separately. But the microscope itself handled it like a champ!

     Here's a Xilinx XC3S400A in the meantime. Old decap, some damage around the perimeter.

     In progress now: Intel Pentium "Willamette". This is going to be around 1500 frames and is the first of several large chips I have that would be completely impractical to photograph by hand.

     1.8 GB of photos in under an hour. Let's see how long it takes to stitch...

     Photobit PB0100 RGB CMOS image sensor. Looks like ImageJ choked a bit on stitching the pixel array, there's some misalignments visible.

     RAlink RT2150F. Focus is slightly imperfect on the bottom edge but at this point I'm just trying to rampage through my whole chip inventory and get low res overview shots of everything.
