If you spend a lot of time reading about cameras, you’re probably familiar with the terms CMOS sensor and CCD sensor, as they describe the two most popular digital camera sensor types. You probably ...

Eastman Kodak Company has set the quality standard for digital imaging with new high-resolution image sensors that allow commercial, studio, and other professional photographers to capture digital ...

Many of the characteristics that engineers look for in machine-vision cameras are determined by the image sensor at the heart of that camera. High-quality images, high resolution, high frame rates, ...

Ever wondered how the CMOS and CCD image sensors inside cameras work? Well, these neat animations byRaymond Sirí do a great job of explaining it. The animations show the basics of how the two sensor ...

CCD (Charge-coupled Devices) are a technology used in optical microscopy to record images of organic and inorganic structures in fine detail. This article will discuss these devices and why they are ...

Never heard of the names Willard S Boyle and George E Smith before? Well, remember them now — thanks to their invention, you're able to use a digital camera today. Lexy was a producer and on-air ...

Fairchild Imaging CCD sensors capture digital images of Saturn’s moon Titan. These ultra sensitive Charge Coupled Device (CCD) image sensors are the “eyes” of several instruments on the NASA/ESA/ASI ...

Toshiba’s TCD2728DG CCD linear image sensor uses lens reduction to cut random noise, enhancing image quality in semiconductor inspection equipment and A3 multifunction printers. As a lens-reduction ...

ON Semiconductor has released its highest resolution Interline Transfer CCD image sensor, which provides high resolution without sacrificing image uniformity and global shutter architecture, the ...

Monochrome CCD image sensors are designed to capture images in black and white, or greyscale, rather than in color. These sensors are capable of detecting variations in light intensity across their ...

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, ...
