Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Bromont, Québec-based Dalsa Semiconductor announced yesterday that it has fabricated and delivered an image sensor chip with a total resolution of over 111 million pixels (10,560 pixels x 10,560 pixels at 9 µm) to its customer, Semiconductor Technology Associates (STA) of San Juan Capistrano, Calif. The CCD device, which measures STA's 111 megapixel astronomy CCD, fabricated by Dalsa Semiconductor. approximately 4 in. x 4 in., is the first to break the 100 megapixel barrier, Dalsa said. STA developed the chip for the astrometry department of the US Naval Observatory (USNO), funded by the...Read full article

    astronomy
    The scientific observation of celestial radiation that has reached the vicinity of Earth, and the interpretation of these observations to determine the characteristics of the extraterrestrial bodies and phenomena that have emitted the radiation.
    pixel
    A pixel, short for "picture element," is the smallest controllable element of a digital image or display. It is a fundamental unit that represents a single point in a raster image, which is a grid of pixels arranged in rows and columns. Each pixel contains information about the color and brightness of a specific point in the image. Some points about pixels include: Color and intensity: In a colored image, each pixel typically consists of three color channels: red, green, and blue (RGB). The...
