Charge-coupled device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (923 words) |
 | CCDs are used in digital photography and astronomy (particularly in photometry, optical and UV spectroscopy and high speed techniques such as lucky imaging). |
| CCDs are typically sensitive to infrared light, which allows infrared photography, night-vision devices, and zero lux (or near zero lux) video-recording/photography. |
| CCD cameras used in astronomy often require very sturdy mounts such as a Losmandy or Astrophysics mount to cope with various vibrations and breezes that can occur, along with the tremendous weight that most imaging platforms inherently cause. |
