Scientific paper

Throughout the history of observational astronomy, there has been a continual demand for detectors of higher sensitivity and lower noise. The ultimate goal, of course, is for an imaging detector that will record every photon reaching it with a noise level limited only by the random fluctuations of the photons themselves. Although we may not yet have the ideal detector, there has been a quiet revolution taking place in astronomy over the last year or so which has caused the world's major observatories to replace many of their older detectors, such as image intensifiers, by Charge-Coupled Oevices (or CCOs as they are universally known).
