Abstract
A high-resolution, electronic camera with real-time storage capability. The image at the focal plane of a lens (5) is electronically scanned in one direction by a linear photodiode array (1), and in the orthogonal direction by a carriage (3), motor (17), and leadscrew (13) subassembly which mechanically moves the array with respect to the lens. The motion of the array is directly translated into comparable relative motion of a recording head (19) with respect to a recording media (21) so that scanned pixel information is recorded on the media (21) concurrently with its generation.
