CCD/CMOS Lens

The debate continues on which is best; CMOS or CCD sensors. In today’s cameras, CMOS lenses are more typically used as they allow for a more complex imaging effect and for the shooting of 1080p video. Traditionally, CCD sensors had been believed to have captured and produced higher-quality images with [...]

Technology plays a role is so many aspects of our lives and now researchers are using imaging technology to examine the pathogen that causes “African sleeping sickness” also known as trypanoosmiasis. This epidemic takes the lives of more than 30,000 annually and can also infect and kill entire herds of [...]

Cameras are constructed with image sensors embedded within. The sensors are either of the charge coupled device (CCD) or the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) style. Both of the sensors perform similar tasks – convert photons (light) into electrons (electrical signals). The main difference in these sensor technologies is the [...]
