Documentation for
Projecting a Microscopic Image
GALLERY 2
Thanks to Eric Beggs for the images on this page, the lower left image on my EFH website
home page, and the video of my presentation of this project on the Project #1 front page.
During the break before my presentation to the ACTLab class, I ran the video and power cables across the floor and taped them down for safety purposes. I then assembled the equipment and prefocused the microscope on the integrated circuit, adjusted the flashlights in the microphone stand adapters, then adjusted the camera and microscope for projection on the screen. (See images below.)
The burned spot on the imaging tube of the camera can be seen on the right-hand picture (below) in the middle of the projected image. There was some video noise visible, but for a 35-year old analog camera, I was pleased with the image on such a large screen. I disassembled the project during the presentation. If I had to do it again, I would have shown several areas of the integrated circuit chip.
