摘要

Apparatus (1) for photo-electric measurements, comprising one or more photo-electric conversion components, and preferably matrix sensor(s) (4) e.g. charge coupled device (CCD), complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS), charge injection device (CID), and the like, is new. Apparatus (1) for photo-electric measurements, comprising one or more photo-electric conversion components, and preferably matrix sensor(s) (4) e.g. charge coupled device (CCD), complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS), charge injection device (CID), and the like, is new. An optical system (2,3) has a modular expansion on one or more axes to register electromagnetic emission from a line or surface at an object in any required size. The modular optical system divides the emission into a number of small segments for a single or multiple projection to the sensor(s). An electronic system (6) for the sensors defines the working mode and functions of the photo-electric converters, for adjustment with full programming in two dimensions in real time e.g. the pixel scanning frequency, pixel binning. The photo-electric converters can be controlled (10) independently of each other and/or are operated simultaneously and/or otherwise controlled.
