CCD

CCD, or Charge-Coupled Device, is a technology used in cameras and imaging devices to convert light into electronic signals. It consists of an array of tiny light-sensitive cells that capture images when light hits them. The device collects these signals and transfers them to create a digital image. CCDs are known for their high-quality images and sensitivity to light, making them popular in professional photography, astronomy, and medical imaging. They help us capture clear, detailed pictures in various lighting conditions, serving as a fundamental component in many modern imaging systems.
