   We have! And a few larger group buys / enterprise customers in the pipeline. We started out selling more expensive Mitutoyo systems (quality but expensive Japanese optics) and sold a few of those. But feedback from customers was that i

   Thanks! Yeah that's roughly inline with our calculations / how we priced things. If we want to get the final price lower we need to switch to more basic components or tighter integration with suppliers. But we've been avoidin

   Hi there! CTO of Labsmore here. We would love to chat with people involved at lab automation / digital microscopy to learn more about what we could do to help their workflows. Currently we are focusing on electronics / semiconduct

   Hi there! CTO of Labsmore here. Pricing is hard :) There is a lot that goes into the final price, especially once the other components, calibration, and overhead is factored in. Its our first time selling a product like this and would love

   I've been collecting a bunch of counterfeit chips to hopefully do a write up on at some point. If you are ok they might sit for a while, I'd love to collect them for that project! Feel free to email me JohnDMcMaster at gmail.com

   Yeah I do this as part of my consulting work. Typical applications are failure analysis, security research, or re-manufacturing obsolete electronics. Note however these tend to be larger projects and more than a quick die photo. Although I

    I agree with this. I often get asked to decap + image chips commercially and its not usually worth it unless its a value add / loss leader as part of a larger project.

    I have a big pile of counterfeit chips to decap / analyze. Unfortunately busy with work / higher priority projects so haven't gotten to them :(

    Looking to curate a collection of chips that are security focused, especially those with hardware security features (ex: tamper mesh). If you have suggestions for chips that are missing from this list that I can get my hands on please let m

    Some friends and I tried to buy chips from them recently. However, they wanted a relatively significant amount of money for them that more accurately reflected commercial rates than historical collectible prices. Seems like they are operati

    We are making computer controlled microscopes more accessible: better software and lower cost. We are working on tightly integrating output images with cloud services (ex: AI analysis, data viewers) to make the data more usable. We also hav

    The topic has come up a few times and I'm not opposed to changing it. If a good replacement name came up and someone helped with logos etc I'd change it

    Mostly yes (ex: through thin film interference as mentioned), but there may be significant color correction for things like halogen light yellow color. There are also techniques to produce colorful images such as DIC and using a confocal mi
