ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for constructing a sensor system (100) sensitive to electromagnetic radiation for use in a digital imaging camera head. The sensor system (100) is capable of delivering an electrical signal containing the image information formed by electromagnetic radiation incident on the sensor system (100). The sensor system (100) is comprised of a number (N pcs.) of mutually essentially identical modular sensor units (10.sub.1 . . . 10.sub.N) and of an equal number (N pcs.) of mutually essentially identical modular control electronics units (20.sub.1 . . . 20.sub.N) suited for the control and signal processing of said sensor units (10.sub.1 . . . 10.sub.N). The sensor system (100) has a modular design permitting the dimensions of the imaging area covered by the sensor system (100) to be expanded or reduced as required for the needs of an imaging application by adding or reducing, respectively, the number of the modular sensor units (10,20). Each individual modular sensor unit (10) and/or control electronics unit (20) are/is also separately removable for servicing.
