Line 44:
Special sensors are used in various applications such as [[thermography]], creation of [[multi-spectral image]]s, [[Laryngoscopy|video laryngoscopes]], [[gamma camera]]s, sensor arrays for [[x-ray]]s, and other highly sensitive arrays for [[astronomy]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Gitto |first=Simone |title=Arduino with MATLAB in the thermography: From the sensor to the thermal camera (Arduino and Beyond) |publisher=Independently published |year=2020 |isbn=979-8698999171 |language=en}}</ref>
 
While in general, digital cameras use a flat sensor, Sony prototyped a curved sensor in 2014 to reduce/eliminate [[Petzval field curvature]] that occurs with a flat sensor. Use of a curved sensor allows a shorter and smaller diameter of the lens with reduced elements and components with greater aperture and reduced light fall-off at the edge of the photo.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.engadget.com/2014/07/08/sony-shows-off-first-picture-taken-with-curved-sensor/ |title=Sony's first 'curved sensor' photo may herald better images, cheaper lenses |first=Steve |last=Dent |date=8 July 2014 |access-date=July 8, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140711224002/http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/08/sony-shows-off-first-picture-taken-with-curved-sensor/ |archive-date=July 11, 2014 }}</ref>
