The camera's sensitivity is 3000 times higher than that of a conventional HDTV CCD camera; it can take rare shots of a meteor from the ground and video images of the various hues of celestial bodies by means of an advanced astronomical telescope.
CCDs are now also widely in use in digital cameras and video cameras, and even advanced amateur astronomers these days often have CCD cameras for their telescopes!

Twin Videoscope Twin compact CCD cameras incorporating image sensors and microscope lenses mechanically and electronically precision aligned at 46mm centres in a single sealed case with a common integral variable light source.
Using the CCD Lens adapter To take full advantage of high resolution CCD cameras requires a focal ratio of F/30 or more.
Since CCD cameras are very sensitive in the infrared, you can purchase an IR Block filter to obtain more natural looking images in the visible part of the spectrum.

CCD cameras often combine neighbouring pixels in a technique called "binning" in order to get a better signal to noise ratio, and they may use a subset of the physically available pixels if the binning does not give a nice number match between the chosen video format and the sensor resolution.
Digital camcorders use CCD cameras that output to a digital recording deck.

We also have high resolution single CCD digital cameras in RGB color and monochrome formats.
Trilinear scanning back cameras use a linear array CCDs that move in increments to capture digital images, much like a flatbed scanner.
The CCD chip array is about the size of a large pizza, compared to professional 35 mm digital cameras where the CCD chip is half the size of a 35 mm negative.

CCD cameras are composed of silicon chips that are sensitive to light, changing detected photons of light into electronic signals that can then be used to make images of astronomical objects or to analyze how much light is being received from such objects.
Our CCD-linescan cameras are suitable for all kinds of optic measuring tasks, like object recognition and quality control tests, position and distance measurement, or for spectral and laser beam diagnostics.
