Gavin Stoker wonders why everyone loves CCD cameras so much? Is he missing something? The post Why does everyone love CCD ...

CCD technology was the driving force behind early digital photography, and its popularity persisted until the late 2000s.

How a CCD camera works A CCD sensor uses the photoelectric effect described by Einstein in 1905, where photons striking the surface of metals will cause electrons to be emitted, hence generating an ...

If you’ve ever dreamed of building a proper spectrometer, it looks like the ESPROS epc901 CCD sensor is absolutely worth your attention. It’s fast, sensitive, easy to interface with, and at ...

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 ...

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 ...

This article will briefly highlight the major differences between these competing image sensor technologies and discuss their battle for market dominance. It will compare a 3-megapixel CMOS image ...

This year’s Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded, with the inventors of the CCD getting recognition for the invention which enabled modern digital photography. It has taken a while: Whilst ...

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, ...

Wait, excuse us, did we say 8 megapixels? We meant to say 10. That's right, megapixel excess moves onward and upward as Sharp has unveiled a new 10 megapixel CCD for consumer cameras.
