At the heart of today’s digital imaging devices are charge-coupled devices (CCD). A type of semiconductor that’s sensitive to light, a CCD consists of a 2-D array of individual elements, each of which ...

A Bayer array, or Bayer filter, is what lets a digital camera take color photos. It’s an array of tiny color filters that sit on top of a camera’s CCD. The filter makes it so that each sub-pixel in ...

Despite improvements in the performance of cameras based on CCD (charge-coupled device) arrays, the rate at which they can capture multiple images is typically limited to around a thousand frames per ...

Only two months ago, I wrote a blog entry on Kodak’s 50-Mpixel CCD still-camera sensor and the Hasselblad H3DII-50 large-format camera that first carried this sensor. Well, Kodak has just unleashed ...

Choosing the right charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor is an important decision. While some features of a given sensor may make it optimal for use in one application, this same sensor may be less ...

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 ...
