PHOTON 100 – Operation principle of CMOS active pixel sensor
- CMOS Sensor
Diffracted X-ray photons are converted into visible light using high resolution phosphor screens and introduce charges on the sensor. These charges are read out from each pixel through a readout bus, similar to a random access memory.
This inherently makes CMOS detectors resistant to overexposure and charge overflows that cause blooming and streaking.
