What Is a CCD Scanner?
A CCD scanner is an optical image sensor that captures image data by converting light into electric charges. It is extensively used across various sectors, including medical, printing, publishing, and manufacturing for various purposes, such as medical imaging, printed material inspection, and product quality checks.
The device operates by shining light onto the sensor via a lens, transforming the light into electric charges. These charges are sequentially processed, generating image data. With its array of pixels, each dedicated to converting light into charges, CCD scanners provide superior image quality and a broad dynamic range. This allows for the accurate capture of subjects with significant variations in brightness.
