Annual Report 2011
27.02.2012
For Fraunhofer IMS the year 2011 was characterized by the stabilization of the high level reached in the previous year. With an increasing number of employees in comparison to the previous year, the operating budget in 2011 amounted to 25,8 million euros. Therefore the good results of 2010 could be ...[more]
High-speed CMOS sensors provide better images
03.01.2012
Conventional CMOS image sensors are not suitable for low-light applications such as fluorescence, since large pixels arranged in a matrix do not support high readout speeds. A new optoelectronic component speeds up this process. It has already been patented. CMOS image sensors have long since been...[more]
