New Modular Camera No Ordinary Joe

About this technology

Overview

In astronomy, Little Joe" is used as a wave sensor to eliminate aberrations triggered by wavefront distortions that are known to plague this field with image degradation. Little Joe is also capable of correcting wavefront distortions in medical imaging applications-such as measuring distortions in the human eye-but its high frame rate high quantum efficiency and low readnoise properties are really what make the technology an elite member of its camera class. In turn these properties allow Little Joe to visualize high speed phenomena by optimizing signal-to-noise ratio in light-limited conditions."
