My current imaging setup is built around a hacked and motorized AmScope ME580T. Consequently, I can do brightfield imaging only for the moment. Optics list:

• LMplan 5x
• LMplan 10x
• Nikon M Plan 20x ELWD
• LMplan 50x
• Bio 100x oil; looking to replace that one with something better

I am happy to do some work for you:

• Decapping: destructive for epoxy packages, I am equipped to get the die out but the package will be broken in the process
• Imaging: I can image using any of the listed optics for you with 20x typically being the highest for a full die, plus you can specify ROIs to be imaged at higher magnification
• Deprocessing: I can deprocess the die down to the substrate, but without intermediate steps.

The default package is, I do imaging top metal at 20x, decapping and/or deprocessing would obviously require more work and consume more material.

If decapping is required, please bear in mind that it may result in damage/destruction of samples despite trying my best; providing multiple samples is highly desirable.

Hobby/public projects are done for free but a small donation is always highly appreciated to cover material costs and tear&wear. You will have to cover shipping costs, including shipping samples back if so desired; I am EU-based so things might be simpler/cheaper if you are as well.

At this moment, I cannot offer commercial work, and I won't do anything I deem legally challenging e.g. pay-TV, smartcards, DRM, crypto.

By default, I retain copyright and will publish the images on this site.
