Camera MicroLine ML8300M

Specifies the edge length of the mostly square pixels that make up a camera sensor.

For long exposure times, many CCD cameras are cooled to reduce thermal noise and achieve higher image quality. CCD cameras are grouped into three categories:
- no cooling
- passive cooling via cooling fins
- active cooling (e.g. using a fan and Peltier element)

The resolution of a sensor is expressed as the total number of pixels. In digital cameras it is usually specified in megapixels. However, the specification of the number of single pixels in a vertical and horizontal row is more precise, for example 2048x2048.
