The significance of the entrance slit and the diffraction grating in forming a spectral image of the incident light in the image plane is discussed in the articles “An Introduction to a Spectrometer: ...

Rigaku Americas Corporation has announced the introduction of two new high performance CCD based area X-ray detectors at the 24th European Crystallographic Meeting (ECM24) in Marrakech, Morocco ...

Compact spectrometers coupled with fiber optic light inputs and array detectors are used for many different spectroscopic applications. Traditionally, poor detection limit is one of the shortcomings ...

At the heart of today’s digital imaging devices are charge-coupled devices (CCD). A type of semiconductor that’s sensitive to light, a CCD consists of a 2-D array of individual elements, each of which ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...
