This article is a continuation of “PCB Radiography Kindergarten”.
This was a second test-fire of that radiography system, using yet-another board where I already know where everything is (on account of having designed it.)
This time, the victim is a FG TRNG Mainboard:

Below is the result of test-firing a newly-installed miniature PCB radiography system.
The victim is a standard FG TRNG Analogue Unit:

Detail of left op amp, with bonding whiskers visible:
The substrate, aluminum RF shield frame, SMT contacts, vias, and the two layers of the PCB are clearly distinguishable. Likewise resistors (nearly transparent) [...]
This article is part of a series of hands-on tutorials introducing FFA, or the Finite Field Arithmetic library. FFA differs from the typical “Open Sores” abomination, in that — rather than trusting the author blindly with their lives — prospective users are expected to read and fully understand every single line. In exactly the same [...]

Let’s compare the CPU cost of modular exponentiation performed on Chapter 14 FFA vs ye olde MPI.
V-press the MPI tree to mpi_second_cut.vpatch (or use diana_coman’s cleaned-up variant, this should not affect the result of the test.)
Now, replace the test_mpi.c example I provided, with the following MPIistic implementation of the Ch.14 example test tape:
koch.c:
#include "mpi.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include [...]
