 * Oppose This is something that should be done with a scanner: You'll get a nice even background, much higher resolution, less noise and you can change the exposure so much more easily (did you take this with the pliers in your left hand and camera in your right hand?). --antilivedT 06:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose That's not the chip, it's the circuit board carrying the chip. The chip can be seen in the microphoto I shot for the smart card article (scroll down to "Nordea" card). --Janke | Talk 14:29, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That smart card 'chip' is a very tiny picture of the silicon substrate itself. If you want to be picky, the chip is the Integrated Circuit clearly visible below the layer of protective glue in the center of my photo. Teque5 (talk) 18:37, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's what I meant. You'd really need to see the chip here - now it's just a little black rectangle (no details at all) on the larger carrier board, so even the caption is misleading. --Janke | Talk 07:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
