<title>High-speed cameras using a CCD image sensor and a new high-speed image sensor for biological applications</title>

Abstract

This paper describes two complete fast imaging systems using a commercial Charge Coupled Device (CCD). It includes two different storage systems (analogical and digital) and describes a new high speed sensor built as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) in Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) 1.2 pm technology. The first system has been applied to a biological research.

A high-speed video microsystem

“…For the high-speed configuration to reduce the output bandwith and to increase the sensitivity, we used a 2 × 4 binning to reduce the number of pixels to 190 × 122. The erosion of resolution is made by addition of charge packets corresponding to several distinct pixels as described below [5].…”
