Single line CCD camera to improve positioning.
This article describes an opto-electronic device that allows on-line visualization of the optical intensity function along a strip. The use of a linear optical charge-coupled device (CCD) array eliminates all moving parts. This makes adaptation to a standard microscope possible without modifications. The setup described here is essential where precise positioning of a reference graticule on diffuse lines must be performed.
