Not sure if anyone is interesting but I'm currently playing with the remarkably proceed UNI-T thermal imaging camera.
It could not quite focus on the kind of chips I was observing, but it was possible to obtain a 3D printed macro lens holder with a laser cutter lens fitted(no idea optically how these work, but definitely not plain glass).
Will be putting it though it's paces next week.
Curious to see if anyone hacks the software. It's trying to be a FLIR, but I think it can be so much more.
