Caption: Microchip test circuit. View of part of a circuit used for testing microchips during their manufacture. The circuit has a ring of contacts in it (not seen) which connect to the microchip and stimulate it to test its various functions. Electronic pathways leading from the ring of contacts are seen converging from the left. Each circuit is designed to test a particular chip.
