Collecting silicon wafers

If I put the wafer under a microscope and get some photos, I should be able to ID the chip. Then put it in a picture frame complete with label... Hmm... I'd love to track down one of the East German wafers that were mentioned on The Silicon Zoo (www.micro.magnet.fsu.edu/creatures) - they had some that they extracted a picture of a fox from. With a decent scope and a half-decent digicam (either my Oly or one of the Sony Mavica cameras I have access to) I should be able to get some pretty decent pictures. Picture this - a wafer with all the silicon "doodles" or "creatures" printed off underneath, complete with a "This die contains..." label... Hmm...
