X-Ray Eyes (and PCBs)

This should be a worthwhile business in any town that has a booming electronics business. Oftentimes, an outfit will have trouble with one of their circuit-boards. They can be hard to troubleshoot because it's hard to locate the fault. Here's what you do:

Ask them for the bad board and a good board (if both were good, they'd be identical).

Now, take 3 X-Ray images of both - in the 3 cartesian directions.

Then, get your program to compare the images and figure out where the bad board has shorts or opens.

Send a big bill.
