3 unusual facts about Active pixel sensor


Arriflex D-20

The camera's attributes are its optical viewfinder, modularity, and 35mm-width CMOS sensor.

Kell factor

It was later revised to 0.85 but can go higher than 0.9, when fixed pixel scanning (e.g., CCD or CMOS) and fixed pixel displays (e.g., LCD or plasma) are used, or as low as 0.7 for electron gun scanning.

Single-molecule FRET

Fluorescence signal is detected either using ultra sensitive CCD or CMOS cameras for wide field microscopy or avalanche photodiodes for confocal microscopy.
