English

Microscope

Thanks to Karsten Nohl presentation at Hacker Space Fest, there's an interesting DIY approach for reverse engineering.

Now we have to find a microscope...

  • Friend of Phil will lend a microscope with camera
    • not perfect but should enable us to do the first etching/abrasive steps
  • We'll try to select and acquire a perfect microscope for this job.

Features

These are the features we're looking for:

  • 500x magnification
  • 2 MP to 8 MP camera
  • Objective table to move the chip slowly (i.e. not by hand, too much shaking and imprecision)
  • Reflected (incident) lighting

Feature we DON'T NEED:

  • Confocal microscope (it seems, because we'll abrase/grind away the upper layers anyway and the bottom layers are opaque anyway too)

Perfect Microscope

Still selecting the right model.

  • Camera: 3.2 MP Canon Ixus V3
    • Mounting: Attached directly to the eye-piece
    • Drawback: produces round (not square) pictures (with no noticeable deformation) of smaller size/coverage than regular microscope-camera.
    • Advantage: working and free

La présentation de Karsten Nohl (en) au Hacker Space Fest ouvre la voie à des bricolages interessants de reverse engineering.

Maintenant il nous faut un microscope.

  • Un ami de Phil prêtera un microscope avec camera
    • Pas l'idéal mais devrait suffire pour les premières étapes d'abrasion et de grattage.
  • On va essayer de choisir et de se procurer le microscope idéal à cet emploi.

Fonctionnalités

Voila ce qu'on cherche:

  • grossissement 500x
  • camera de 2 à 8 megapixels
  • Table de manipulation qui puisse faire bouger lentement la puce (c'est à dire pas à la main, ça tremble et c'est trop imprécis)
