It does this by radically realigning the fundamental pixel structure from front-illumination to back-illumination, while still retaining the advantages of CMOS image sensors such as low power consumption and high-speed operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a conventional front-illumination structure, the metal wiring and transistors on the surface of the silicon substrate that form the sensor’s light-sensitive area (photo-diode), impede photon-gathering carried out by the on-chip lens. A back-illuminated structure minimizes the degradation of sensitivity to the optical angle response, while also increasing the amount of light that enters each pixel due to the lack of obstacles such as metal wiring and transistors. These components have been moved to the back-side of the silicon substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUSB3.0 \u0026amp; DDR3 Buffer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith features like USB 3.0 and 256MB DDR3 buffer, the ASI294MMCPro provides stable and secure data transmission that can effectively avoid frame-dropping issues during long exposures and reduce the glow effect caused by slow reading speed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge well depth capacity, low read-out noise \u0026amp; high dynamic range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full well capacity of 63700e of ASI294MC Pro is near the top of all ASI DSO cameras.
