Scientific paper

Two dimensional detectors have been important in astronomy since the earliest days of the science. Recently, the requirements for greater photometric accuracy, sensitivity and spectral coverage have driven the search for better imaging devices. Electron beam readout devices with a variety of target materials and intensification schemes, including the SEC and silicon vidicons, have been used successfully. The CCD as an image detector has several potential advantages over electron beam readout devices; low noise, simple construction and geometric stability are among them.
