camera
A camera is a device used to capture an image. While cameras originally relied on the exposure of light-sensitive film to capture images, modern cameras are typically digital, featuring an area detector consisting of a large pixel array. Digital cameras typically feature either charge coupled device (CCD) or scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (sCMOS) detectors.
