The Santa Barbara Instrument Group (SBIG) is adding two new models to its line of specialized, high-resolution CCD cameras for astrophotography and spectography. The ST-8300M and ST-8300C both ...

Discover how the charge-coupled device (CCD) revolutionized imaging technology, impacting photography, astronomy, medicine, and more.

This image was taken with a Coronado 90mm H-alpha filter, a Meade 5″ APO refractor, and a 16161XTE CCD camera. The image is colorized.

There's a good reason why CCD cameras were replaced by CMOS at the same time as flatscreen TVs replaced tube televisions. The way we display images fundamentally changed, and so the way we took ...

CCD cameras used by amateur astronomers are able to produce color images, although not directly. To obtain a color image, three monochrome images of a celestial object must be taken through a red ...

Business offices are seeing a growing need for high-speed, high-resolution copying and scanning of large volumes of different ...

Digital cameras can use CCD or CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) circuitry. However, CCD produces higher quality images. Thus, security cameras generally use CCD technology.

For technology reasons CCD sensors normally have higher light sensitivity than CMOS sensors that are comparable in size and resolution. They are thus predestined to be used in the automotive sector in ...

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 ...

The T-Cam from Specialised Imaging is a scientific CCD camera designed to enable high resolution imaging of transient events. Integrating high performance 4k x 3k image sensors the T-Cam is able to ...

Perhaps even more importantly, CMOS cameras promise high-quality images even under adverse illumination. While the effective nine-bit resolution of CCD-based HDTV cameras is impressive considering the ...
