I'd be interested to know what kind of x-ray device they used to get those images? How much does one cost, and are they affordable (and safe) for a hobbyist to

  Something like this: http://www.nikonmetrology.com/en_EU/Products/X-ray-and-CT-Inspection/X-ray-systems-for-electronics-inspection/XT-V-130-Electronics-X-ray-system http://www.nikonmetrology.com/en_EU/Products/X-ray-and-CT-In... It weighs slightly over a (metric) ton, and despite being marketed as "low cost" model, it's not something the average hobbyist can afford. Or even needs :) And yes, it's lead-lined, completely enclosed and safe to use as long as you don't put your hamster in it.

      Not sure if you're serious, but most phones lack an x-ray emitter.

  I assume not. Pete does component work for Broadcom (I think) as his day job. This equipment was probably theirs, to which I'd wager >$100,000.

  Some people have taken problem ICs to a friendly dentist and asked him to X-ray them...
