[APML] OT: CCD Technology Primers from DALSA

["Koebel, Alen" <Alen.Koebel@christiedigital.com>]

Yes, I'm aware of the debates concerning the mandate of
this group and the topic of CCD imaging. But the topic 
won't go away and it must be admitted that it has more 
and more relevance to film imagers (which I count myself 
among) as we start to combine data from the two technologies
into composite images (see the "New image: IC1396-Provia
and halpha CCD" thread for one example). It's generally 
us film folk who have the most need for introductory 
information about CCDs, so to that end see the following 
web links to papers from a CCD manufacturer, DALSA 
(whose headquarters are just down the street from me).
The first paper is a "primer" but you'll notice it is
still quite technical and requires some knowledge of 
electronics to understand.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DALSA site. But watch
out: You might find yourself dreaming about using the larger
professional CCDs they make, such as their 11 Mpixel 4k x
2.6k model (36mm x 24mm area and 9 micron pixels):
