B. Image Processing
1. CCD
The CCD is a single chip photoelectric conversion device which consists of several thousand
photosensitive devices of each several microns square, for reading RGB image signals, with a
built-in scanning circuit.
CanoScan 8000F employs 6-line CCD.
1) 6-line CCD
6-line CCD has two rows of staggered photosensitive devices for RGB each. The 6-line CCD
therefore can scan at 1200dpi x 2 = 2400dpi.
