The company is willing to sell the inner hardware without the chessboard cover. Each field has a 2 inches square size. Due to the chessboard-inheritance, the circuitry comes as 8x8 array, but boards can be arranged in tandem. If the market evolves, the company may be willing to develop smaller circuitry, providing smaller sensor fields and thus higher resolution. Regards, Terry
