MacBook X-Rayed!
Ever wondered what the Aluminum MacBook would look like under an x-ray? My friend Jason wondered the same thing and did something about it. The picture above is an x-ray image of his MacBook. Cool huh.
Examining the x-ray image gives you a glimpse or the wonderful way the MacBook was put together.
I’ve seen a lot of dismantled images of MacBooks but this is the first x-ray image I’ve seen. Enjoy!
Thanks Jason for allowing me to post the image.
Edit (11/20/2008)
Jason graciously has made the hi-res version of the x-ray image available for download. Please download it here. The password for accessing the site is “theaftermac”. Enjoy!

I’ll ask my friend, the person who x-rayed it. I’ll post the hi-res version here if he allows it for download.

I too would love the X-Ray as a desktop background, it would be funny as my girlfriend asked me yesterday to make her a background of a knee metal plates to put on her destop… The macbook would show how geeky I am ;-)

MRI?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging? What do you think might happen to a laptop that has metal in it…. and is exposed to a magnet thousands of times more powerful than any you’ve played with before?
On a side note - if anyone has too much cash - take a nice slow-mo vid of that.

@Sravan: The x-ray machine (a small one located at my brother’s vet clinic) survived the ordeal ;-)

I’m just another one who would like a very hi-res version!!!
An ideia: your friend should x-ray other MacBook models as well and make a set!

I third that request for a hi-rez version. On my old TiBook, my favorite background was just such an X-ray shot of that very computer. Instant geek cred…

@theweakend - it is. here’s what you need to do. Click on the link or type it in. Login using the password. You’ll be presented with a thumbnail of the image. Click on that and an overlay/pop-up will appear. There’s a link above that says download the image. Download that image and that should be good.

Sweet picture! I have technical questions… I’m an x-ray tech and I was wondering what you used (technique-wise kVp/mAs). I’m guessing it’s digital equipment w/ laser printer? Did you scan the pic or are the dust/artifacts from the cassette? If it turns out I won’t get fired for it, I might try it with my macbook pro at work. :)

@kaia - As far as I know Jason used an old x-ray machine. The one with film. He did it at his bro’s vet clinic. He then scanned the film and cleaned it up a little using Photoshop.

[...] DESIGN: “Alle” har sett de nye aluminiums-notebook’ene til Apple. Men har du sett hvordan de ser ut inni? Bildet vi viser her har gått sin seiersgang rundt nettet, og er et röntgenbilde av en ny aluminiums-MacBook. Det er usikkert hvordan dette bildet har kommet til - vi gjetter at noen som jobber i sikkerhetskontrollen på OSL eller på radiologisk avdeling i Radiumhospoitalet ville hatt tilgang til å ta slike bilder; dette har utenlandsk opprinnelse. Men, uansett, fascinerende. Som den gangen man var liten og fikk lov til å komme inn i cockpit’en på flyet.

this is fantastic.
now what i would love is an x-ray of my 24″ imac. So that i could do the “true” see through desktop thing. instead of having what’s on the other side of the wall, have what is inside the computer.
thanks for this one to tide me over.
