Hello,

I have put together a page with links to everything that is online on my 
webspace.
Don't stress it too much, I officially have unlimited  but that was 
setup in 1997. ;-)
So check this out:
http://mail.lipsia.de/~enigma/neu/6581.html

I will update this page if something new is recorded.

According to Tommi Lempinen the SID was burnt out of the plastic package.
Maybe he can say some words to his method.
You might also notice that some metal circuity on the die appears nealy 
black decorated with dirt.
Could be related to the package opening.

I am not yet satisfied with the quality and will ask if this high 
resolution needs some special treatment, like aperture or other special 
microscope configuration.

You can see the scale in the lower left corner, so it is around 10x.
This means 10x10 = 100 times more images.
The image above was stitched from 20 single images.

It is not really an option because:
You need an automatic recording with remote control of the XY-table drive.
It is nearly impossible to adjust the die the way that it is exactly in 
normal direction, meaning that the focus plane distance does not shift 
if driving to another location.
This implies you adjust the focus length each X micrometer to the same 
plane, f.e. the brown one again -> automatically.
This also required an automatic high precise drive for the object 
distance of the microscopy (Z-drive for table).
While there is no automatic Z-drive currently it would also be a 
difficult job to program an algorithm that adjusts the sharpness to a 
specific plane. (There are also areas, where a specific plane is not 
visible at all).
So this would be really just for the far future....

Ciao...
