Abstract
Scientific grade, cooled, charge coupled devices (CCDs) combined with low noise electronic design has redefined the scope of quantitative light imaging. Successful application of this technology requires a basic understanding of CCD camera operation. A brief introduction to CCD camera technology is provided as an aid to investigators interested in quantitative light measurement. Parameters used to characterize camera performance, full-well capacity, dynamic range, read noise, dark current, and linearity are defined
