A camera that uses CCD (charge coupled device) chips to convert photons to electrical or digital information.
A digital camera attached to a telescope for low light conditions of astronomy. CCD stands for charged-coupled device. A CCD consists of a large array of light-sensitive elements that are used to record images of stars and galaxies. Instead of the image being recorded on film, the CCD image is placed in an image file on the computer.
A camera that uses charged couple device (CCD) chips to convert photons to electrical or digital images. It is used in many microarray scanners.
