1. CCD
The CCD is a single chip photoelectric conversion device equipped with several thousand
photosensitive devices. Each photosensitive devices is several microns square, and all
devices are formed into a line to read RGB image signals with a built-in scanning circuit.
CanoScan 9900F uses 6-line CCD.
1) 6-line CCD
6-line CCD has two rows of photosensitive devices in staggered arrangement for RGB each.
This measn that the image with the resolution worth 1600dpi x 2 = 3200dpi can be scanned
by only one scanning operation.
