Take it from you Werner, glad you pull from golf to see us;

3D machine's orbiting view can see cracks from substrate,
with the kind human or inhuman experience you and Jerry noted;
with metal tops it could be still a hazy vision at the best ?
The likelihood of high efficiency top sinks (metal)
increasing popularity seems logical, to me (deluded or not),
meaning to be very interesting for multilayered patients diagnosis?

Did you come across damage factors on X pass repetitions ?,
i know in med you can burn the bone with multipasses,
(know cases with 4-6 pass wrist X burns);
with the intensities required through the metal tops,
if they are Xable,
(wonder what's Altera's view on X,seen somebuddy here on Net,please,)
would there be a possibility of internal damage of ever finer paths ?

I realize this is commercially sensitive laundry,
hints are good enough answers
(even no comment, come to think of it)

Hi Paul, Steve & others,
It all depends on your volume and the level of assurance you need/want.
There
is no question that for some people's operation spending that kind of money
is overkill, on the other hand there is no question that X-ray inspection
with the proper recognition algorithm(s) and settings can improve the
quality
of the outgoing solder joints better than any other technique.
