CCD Area Sensors

FAIRCHILD IMAGING produces a series of high resolution CCD matrix sensors with excellent technical data. Sensors from 1 MPixel up to a maximum of 83 MPixel are available. In contrast to many sensors from other manufacturers the products by FAIRCHILD IMAGING provide rather large pixel in order to reach a higher full well capacity. In conjunction with their low noise these sensors are suitable for high end applications in science and medicine.

CCD Sensors by FAIRCHILD IMAGING were often used in aerospace missions as e.g. Mars Observer, Cassini probe, Hubble Space Telescope, and many reconnaissance satellites. For such missions the sensors can specially be tested. Based on their own matrix sensors, FAIRCHILD IMAGING also supplies a series of complete camera systems for scientific purposes (please refer to page 7). Some of these cameras provide also a powerful peltier cooling, or a fiber optic.
