Debayering a DSLR's Bayer matrix.

Hello everybody,
Amazing topic! Really great.
Being inspired by the idea, I tried to use 'chemical approach'. I took ccd sensor from damaged Canon A75 camera.
First I ground the edges of covering glass with Dremel and little diamond bit, and then removed the glass.
As a solvent I used mixture of dichloroethane (C2H4Cl2) and trichloroethylene (C2HCl3) (3:1 proportion).
All layers of Bayer's array (together with microlenses) came off rather easily, not very fast, but after 10 to 15 minutes I did manage to remove them with cotton swab moistened with the mentioned mixture.
There are some problems around the edges - as the swab is thick and I didn't want to damage tiny wires, but I think this could be overcome with some finer tool.
Anyway I'm going to apply this procedure to another, working camera (also with small sensor unfortunately).
regards
grzegorz
