IRIS (Infra-Red, in-situ) is a multidisciplinary project I’m developing to give people a tangible reason to trust their hardware. Above: example of IRIS imaging a chip mounted on a circuit board. When I set out to research this technique, there were many unknowns, and many skills I lacked to complete the project. This means I made many mistakes along the way, and had to iterate several times to reach the current solution. Instead of presenting just the final solution, I thought it might be inter...
