Computer circuit board being electrically-tested
Circuit board testing. Microchip on a computer circuit board being tested by having a spark of electricity fired at it. This quality control check tests whether that the component will be resistant to damage from static electricity. Static electricity can build up on objects and people. The sudden surge in current which occurs when the static discharges through a spark can damage some sensitive electronic components

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a crucial moment in the manufacturing process of computer circuit boards. A microchip, delicately positioned on the board, is undergoing an electrical test to determine its resistance against static electricity damage. As static electricity can accumulate on objects and individuals, it poses a significant threat to sensitive electronic components. In this quality control check, a spark of electricity is fired directly at the microchip, simulating the sudden surge of current that occurs during a discharge. This intense burst serves as a litmus test for the component's durability and ability to withstand potential harm from static discharges. The image showcases cutting-edge technology equipment employed in non-integrated electronics production. It highlights the meticulous attention paid by manufacturers to ensure that every single component meets stringent quality standards before being integrated into larger systems. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this pivotal moment with their trademark precision and clarity. The photograph not only provides insight into the intricate world of computer testing but also reminds us of how essential these checks are in safeguarding our technological advancements against unforeseen hazards like static electricity.
