How does spectroscopy relate to cameras?

A spectroscopy camera is a camera that is used as a detection device in a spectrometer. Spectrometers are used in chemistry, the pharmaceutical industry, the food and beverage industry, and manufacturing to analyze samples, either for identifying or measuring product quality.

How does a digital camera work physics?

A digital camera takes light and focuses it via the lens onto a sensor made out of silicon. It is made up of a grid of tiny photosites that are sensitive to light. Each photosite is usually called a pixel, a contraction of "picture element". There are millions of these individual pixels in the sensor of a DSLR camera.

What are the 4 primary types of digital cameras on the market?

Scientific Digital cameras come in 4 primary types based on the sensor technology they use and these are; CCD's, EMCCD's, CMOS and ICCD cameras.

Why is a spectrometer so called?

A spectrometer (/spɛkˈtrɒmɪtər/) is a scientific instrument used to separate and measure spectral components of a physical phenomenon. Spectrometer is a broad term often used to describe instruments that measure a continuous variable of a phenomenon where the spectral components are somehow mixed.
