As detailed below, numerous fundamental elements are involved when assessing CCD against CMOS sensors for this use. Sensitivity is perhaps the most significant influence in chemiluminescent ...

In CCD devices, an array of millions of light-sensitive picture elements, or pixels, spans the surface of the sensor. After exposure to light, the accumulated charge over the entire CCD pixel array is ...

CCD image sensors have delivered superior quality ... Micron, however, has developed an innovative way of sharing the readout circuitry between two pixel elements, putting the effective number of ...

During this period, the most recent development has been CCD sensors that support HD. CMOS sensors, like CCDs, are made from silicon. However, as the name implies, a complementary metal oxide ...

It might seem like a simple idea, and as CCD sensors become more widespread and ... a complete set of filters for each individual CCD element, but that would be cumbersome, expensive, and would ...

This kind of sensor is also fitted to commercial digital cameras. Digital CCD cameras are now the norm in satellite imaging systems. A digital image consists of extremely small picture elements ...

Dubbed the Stomatopod Inspired Multispectral and POLarization sensitive (SIMPOL) sensor, it features elements (six polarization ... while the standard smartphone CCD cameras use three spectral ...

A type of CCD sensor from Fujifilm that is used in its digital cameras. Super CCD uses a honeycomb structure of octagon-shaped light sensors (photodiodes) at 45 degree angles rather than 90 degrees.

[Lasse] is an astrophotographer, and doesn’t exactly need color pictures, so he decided to swap the color sensor in his camera with a monochrome CCD. Most DSLRs have CCD sensors on strange ...

A giant CCD sensor, in fact the largest ever deployed on a telescope, has captured its first images. The sensor, which is mounted on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, ...
