In 1969, they patented the charge-coupled device, or CCD. Initially intended to be a memory chip, they realized that it didn't store information as intended. What it did do was convert light into ...

Neil Savage presents a summary of some of the latest products. Cameras based on charge-coupled-device (CCD) detectors are continuing to prove useful in scientific fields as diverse as biosciences ...

The options can seem overwhelming. First, the number of Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) cameras for biological microscopy is staggering (the accompanying table shows typical properties of one-third of ...

Electron Multiplying Charge Coupled Devices (EMCCD) are a quantitative digital camera technology that can detect single photon events while maintaining high quantum efficiency. Built into the sensor ...
