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 ...

The KAF-3200E CCD image sensor has been upgraded to provide what is reported as a significant increase in the CCD's ability to convert incident light into electrical energy. Renamed the KAF-3200ME, ...

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, ...

George E Smith helped invent a device that changed everything from photography to astronomy: the CCD sensor. Smith, co-inventer of the CCD sensor, Nobel Prize winner, National Inventors Hall of Fame ...

Tokyo – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. plans to use its process expertise to become the world's leading supplier of CMOS image sensors by 2007, overtaking entrenched Japanese suppliers by developing ...

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.

Advancements in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly the ability to create increasingly smaller and more efficient systems, have made image sensors integral to most people's daily lives. Imaging ...

From web-cams to high-end digital cameras, CMOS image sensors are now strongly challenging CCD technology. Oliver Graydon spoke to the Californian firm Omnivision Technologies, a pioneer in the field ...
