Application:
X-rays are used to image devices, boards and medical devices, non-destructively, with 0.5-2.0µ spatial resolution
2D & 3D X-ray Imaging use X-rays that pass through a sample and measure the intensity of the X-rays that have passed through the sample. This provides an image, which is a gray scale density map of the sample (the more dense materials absorb more X-rays and are darker). This method of physical failure analysis allows the intact direct inspection of wires, traces, solder and other objects inside the device in a non-destructive fashion.
