Thanks mate! SIM card surprised me too! :D
ive considered doing some older console chips and other older intel / amd cpu's however, most older chips are usually covered in a hard plastic casing that is usually impossible to seperate with heat. i would need to use sulphuric acid and nitric acid...
oooh this noticed these new replies! been very busy over the xmas etc.
I live in the north of scotland in a small city named Inverness, i highly doubt intel lawyers will dare to travel to the north! haha
i havent tried scanning in those purely because i dont have access to a high res scanner...
:D :D theyre not skin flakes! haha, this was one of my first die exposing. and the technique i used left a hard surface with microscopic "chunks" coming out of the silicon due to me being an idiot and using a scraping tool to clear the copper surface.... now i have perfected the method and i use...
here is another Intel CPU, ranging from 1x macro all the way to 5x macro! the colors change due to the magnification of the lens and due to lens diffraction. the final 6th image is a crop of the 5x macro... Enjoy! :D
UPDATE: Hi-RES picture has been added, but its still compressed by a massive amount. the original image was 80mb, the uploaded one is 11mb :p
