I usually use my fingers for that sort of test. :) Warning. Don't try it on really hot chips! I have a small lump on my thumb leftover from touching a chip that was trying to self-destruct. (bus clash) Does anybody know of a low cost camera that works in IR? I expect somebody probably makes a slightly modified version of one of the USB cameras for just this sort of work. I found this while poking around. How to modify your webcam: http://www.hoagieshouse.com/IR/ Basically, take it apart, remove IR filter, add visible filter (old slide film), put it back together. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
