Next: CCD Scientific Performance Up: CCD Operation Previous: CCD Operation . A visible light photon releases only one electron-hole pair, and consequently many photons must be collected in each pixel for a measurable signal to be produced. ... This use as an imaging X-ray spectrometer requires that no more than one photon is incident on each pixel in any image frame, which imposes a requirement that image collection times be limited to ~seconds for typical astronomical applications. ...
