CCD Cameras White Papers and Case Studies

  1. Technical Note: New-Generation CCD/EMCCD Technology: A Primer On eXcelon™ Technology 12/16/2010
    Since their invention in 1969, charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have been used to detect the faint light from items as nearby as cells under a microscope to those as far away as stellar objects at the edge of the known universe. By Princeton Instruments Inc.

  3. Technical Note: EM-CCD 10/27/2010
    There are three types of CCDs which are well known in scientific imaging.
  4. Technical Note: EMCCD vs. Interline CCD For Cell Microscopy Applications 5/28/2009
    The megapixel sensor format and small pixel size of Andor’s new Luca R EMCCD camera presents a novel combination of ultra-sensitivity, resolution, field of view, and above all, flexibility. The EM gain feature of this camera offers the unique advantage to use the Luca R in light-starved conditions, in which current leading interline CCD sensors may not deliver optimal image quality.
  5. The Evolution Of Digital Imaging: From CCD To CMOS 12/4/2006
    Since its inception decades ago, digital imaging has progressed through improvements in CCDs and with the emergence of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. And now CMOS is becoming a leading imaging technology

  7. White Paper: CCD / CMOS Hybrid FPA For Low Light Level Imaging 9/22/2006
    We present a CCD / CMOS hybrid focal plane array (FPA) for low light level imaging applications. The hybrid approach combines the best of CCD imaging characteristics (e.g. high quantum efficiency, low dark current, excellent uniformity, and low pixel cross talk) with the high speed, low power and ultra-low read noise of CMOS readout technology
