What's Inside: SDHC Class 4 Memory Card

I was curious to see whats inside some trashed SD-Ram ...
... so I ripped apart the plastic outer casings of both cards and here's what I found

BACK:

         


FRONT: IR4010 and SD-KO8G both Chips are made by TOSHIBA

       

An interesting side note, the only thing that was wrong with this MEM was their plastic casing. One I had knowing broke the casing and the second had a tiny crack in the plastic. It was such a tiny crack but nevertheless it rendered the card unwriteable so technically there is nothing is electronically wrong with both cards. Yup if there's a way to replace the casing of these cards they would work ....

That doesn't look like HAL at all.

LOL .... Meh, HAL wasn't all that bright anyway

Although I'd say "It's not bad MACRO given my camera has NO 'Macro Function' built into it, eh"

How did you do it without a macro?

LMAO, I'm GLAD you asked ...
... Here's how it came out of my camera at 12MP

     

It's a 100% Crop (actual size), the only thing I did in my editor was 'Crop' the image, remove the dust w/ 'Clone' tool and set the correct brightness. The picture don't show much other than HOW close I can actually get just by setting my camera to 12MP it's MAX and then 'Cropping' and 'Re-sizing" to something usable as I did for the SD Ram pics

Obviously the lower the MAX resolution of your sensor the smaller your resulting image size but even with a relatively LOW pixel count we can get a good result ... LOL ... in other words "your mileage will vary"

Nevertheless it's not a BAD close up and I could do better with a camera that had some of the high resolution available to us these days ...

Short of a true MACRO Lens another great TOOL for MACRO that many might even own but they might not realize it is teh typical 'Flatbed' scanner works great. And especially if the object to be photoed is relatively flat. Anyhowz YES for really small objects a Flatbed CAN work great

Very nice wood.  I wonder is a less megapixel like my camera would get any decent results.  Maybe I should send you a RAW camera file to try.

Sure, I'll send my email via PM, should be there in a few secs

EDIT: One more thing, I forgot about taking the picture itself or taking the best picture we can get to work with. ZOOM in to maximum using your 'optical' ZOOM while keeping lenses minimum focusing distance, be close as possible but stay in focus! Should point out as implied 'digital' zoom assuming one has the option is the "worst" as you probably know and is available on allot of Point'n Shoot Cams. But anywayz it would actually work against what were doing and degrade the image, more info here. Yes 'optical' zoom to start with the largest view possible of our subject using the camera's optics there by adding to what we're taking out of our larger image ...

It's as they say "Every little bit Helps"

I just did another 12MP 100% Crop , this one shows the CCD and the LED inside a failed mouse
... Focusing LENS been removed to expose the Imaging Sensor

Always knew there was a tiny camera in there but this is the first time I've actually seen it, again just curious
... I searched Google Images: 'Mouse CCD Sensors' and I found some more curious tapped into the CCD's output
and made 'Scans' of what the mouse actually see's

  Photo Edit's: I's the b'y that blurred teh background, 'Clone' tooled away my dust and added me a wee bit of sharpening,
                    clicking Image with show the version I thought had too much 'sharpening' of the Image Sensor

EDIT: Variation of the theme, maximum 'photo edits' inasmuch as there's possibly too much editing?
          Visually the differences are subtle therefor the viewer command the final verdict, for them it works or it doesn't
          Well in comparison to the above image which shows the minimum of edits thus the criteria for it's choosing was accuracy or
          trueness (accurate to HOW it came out of the camera) of the item being imaged
