The different requirements of industrial and space imaging have led to distinct sensor development paths that diverge and intersect in interesting ways, as Benjamin Skuse finds out
The Cosmos camera, shown at SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation, has an 81 x 81mm imaging area
The image is a composite collected over 12.5 hours exposure. The NIRCam uses mercury-cadmium-telluride detectors with around 4 million pixels
Greg Blackman speaks to Guy Meynants, formerly of Cmosis, and Paul Jerram, of Teledyne e2v, about the history of the image sensors onboard the Mars rover
Semi Conductor Devices has delivered a SWIR sensor to the Institute for Solar Physics at Stockholm University in Sweden
This white paper describes the benefit of performing free space optical communication in the SWIR wavelength range, and how the C-Red 3 SWIR camera is well suited for acting as the detector in an adaptive optics loop for wavefront sensing
High-speed Mikrotron cameras reduce the effects of atmospheric distortion
A thermal imaging technique taken from astrophysical software is being used by ecologists at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) to improve the accuracy of monitoring endangered animal species
More than 92,000 images of the moon’s surface taken in the 1960s by Nasa’s Surveyor missions have been digitised in a project conducted by the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory
