High-speed cameras using a CCD image sensor and a new high-speed image sensor for biological applications

This paper describes two complete fast imaging systems using a commercial Charge Coupled Device (CCD). It includes two different storage systems (analogical and digital) and describes a new high speed sensor built as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) in Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) 1.2 micrometers technology. The first system has been applied to a biological research.
