On purpose!!

And then used it




Thats a 1200 dpi scan of an Intel I/O (ARM) processor.
Markings were super faint + scratched
Immersion scanning makes the refraction index MUCH better, for better resolution and scratch mitigation

Bonus, SL9BE is a new sspec

Cool! Did you know it would work, or was it an experiment?

I did know it would work
same principle is used in chip making, immersion lithography

I read about this technique for scanning of photo negative although it is much more sensible to use a light oil..... remember Dear John that water and electricity do not mix.....

electricity is generally ok with water, its the impurities that get ya LOL
Add some salt and minerals and it gets funnnn

There are some special oils IBM designed for immersion work though, with an even better refraction index.

...Which I wouldn't use on a scanner, that ever is to be used for scanning paper again... Wink

I have a second glass layer I use on mine, so I can replace it if it becomes scratched, or otherwise damaged Smile
