Taming Atmospheric Turbulence
For more than three centuries, the Earth’s atmosphere has frustrated astronomers. The layer of gases that we breathe also distorts the images...
Combining Detector and Optics Performance
Most image-quality discussions center on resolution, which is thought to uniquely determine system performance. Resolution, however, is a more...
Taming the Irregular Shape Problem
Devices that perform well under laboratory conditions often face hurdles in uncontrolled real-world situations. This is true for charge-coupled...
CCDs for Life-Science Applications
