In 2026, Eureca will continue to organize regular seminars on optoelectronic components—essential components for a wide range of modern applications. Our events are aimed at developers and users, whom we introduce to the properties and limitations of these highly developed components. In addition, purchasers and sales staff learn how to correctly apply important technical terms and working methods in their daily work with these components.

Our seminar programs

Basic seminar

In the basic seminar, the structure, function and resulting properties of CCD and CMOS sensors are explained in detail. In addition to the differences in the architectures and the physical limits, various measurement methods for characterizing image sensors are also covered. [Details]

Advanced seminars

Building on the basic seminar, our advanced seminars delve deeper into more advanced topics relating to the use of CCD/CMOS image sensors. After a brief review of the basics, the focus is on the following key topics—always rounded off by an open discussion round in which your questions are answered.

Advanced seminar »From photon to image«

How is a precise image created from light? The seminar deals with pixels, sensitivity and noise, shows the influence of AI on image quality and clarifies the difference between »beautiful« and »correct«. Simulations and live demos are used to analyze optimal image quality in a practical way. [Details]

Advanced seminar »From application to camera system«

Resolution, contrast and parameter space determine the image quality. FOV, WD and SD set limits for object size and details. Factors such as albedo, surface and movement require precise adjustments to lighting and camera. SNR, focal length and aperture optimize measurement accuracy for the best results. [Details]

Advanced seminar »Measurement methods«

Photon transfer, Siemens star, and quantum efficiency

From sensor analysis to optical resolution—focus on key image processing parameters. The photon transfer method provides essential measured values such as conversion gain, full well and read noise. The Siemens star helps to assess resolution and contrast. The quantum efficiency shows how efficiently a sensor processes light. Practical examples and a live demo with the e9u-LSDM-TCD1304 make the concepts tangible.[Details]

Specialized Seminars

In addition to the introductory seminar and the advanced seminars that build upon it, we also offer special seminars on selected topics at irregular intervals. These events address specific questions, applications, or experimental methods and provide an in-depth look at specific aspects of optical metrology and imaging. The spectrum ranges from practical experiments and application-oriented measurement methods to thematic excursions, such as into analog photography.

Special seminar »Photography in practice«

New to the program is a one-day seminar dedicated specifically to image capture techniques. This seminar is aimed not only at our customers from research and industry, but also at ambitious professional and prosumer photographers.[Details]

Analog Photography Course »One Day, Ten Photos«

Mindful analog photography with a medium-format camera.

This is not a workshop for corporate clients, but is aimed more at ambitious hobbyists or young photographers who lack formal training in traditional photographic techniques. [Details]

Our seminars offer you in-depth specialist knowledge, practical examples and interactive discussions—everything to prepare you optimally for the use of state-of-the-art optoelectronic components. We look forward to welcoming you to our events!
