CCDs Outperform Film in Rotating-Mirror Cameras

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CCD technology brings new capabilities to ultrahigh-speed imaging.

Nathan Nebeker, Cordin Co.

Historically, the fastest framing cameras have been rotating-mirror film cameras, which can capture many millions of frames per second with resolution and image quality that is usually limited by the film grain. As a research tool, they have been unparalleled in the rate at which they acquire image information. Although CCDs have been available for quite some time, it is only recently that they passed the cost/performance threshold and became a legitimate replacement for film in rotating-mirror cameras. The speed of rotating-mirror technology and the convenience of electronic imaging make...Read full article
