Title: Pocket Pc x-ray
Post by: geotzo on September 16, 2008, 09:11:55 am

Thanks to my friend, a doctor in the local hospital, who operated the x-ray machine and some simple photoshop/photography work later. The project was my client's idea. Mind you the phone did not work afterwords

In one of the early computer tomography projects circa 1984, we were able to turn the knob and zoom right through button batteries and circuit boards of an HP-12C calculator.  I seem to remember that the cameras actually composed the view from various angles, making it look like a straight-through zoom.

I have no idea why it happened but I very sure it had to do with the x-ray power. The first few we tried where not bright enough so the man said he'd increase power  Then it when dead...

Do you remember the good old time when people had to expose EPROMs to UV light in order to erase content? X-rays have probably done just the same, destroying the firmware.
