摘要：
The utilisation of charge coupled devices (CCDs) for astronomical observations is discussed, and the development of CCDs to meet the scientific requirements of future space-borne observatories are described. Some data are presented for the X-ray detection efficiency (up to 90%) and energy resolution (∼100 eV FWHM) obtained with latest EEV CCDs developed for enhanced X-ray response. Some designs of CCD focal planes for future X-ray spectroscopy missions are illustrated. © 1990.
