Thanks, Dwight, also good idea, but as the object is very small, the resolution must be'
<<1 micron. Hate to show the japs that we can't examine ourselves, so I will try even IR, as you say. Will ask our waferfab what type of IR they have. /Ingemar

We've had good look locating shorts/leakage with IR imaging. Our
camera/software (Inframetrics) supports a comparison of the thermal delta
between different assemblies -- super discriminating.
