A university course on reverse engineering hardware, covering how chips and circuit boards are analyzed to understand their design and function. Course lecture slides are published online, including material on how components such as laser-trimmed resistors appear on a silicon die.
A commenter calls it a great class and points to its publicly available lecture slides, using the die photos in lecture 4 as an example of what components look like.

The slides for lecture 4 (http://security.cs.rpi.edu/courses/hwre-spring2014/Lecture4_...) shows what various types of components (such as laser-trimmed resistors) look like on a die.
