Video monitors display video images from cameras and recorders, often using cathode ray tube (CRT) technology.

Video cameras take continuous pictures and generate signals for display or recording. They capture images by breaking them down into a series of lines. This search form does not include consumer devices such as camcorders

Optical prisms are blocks of optical material with flat, polished sides that are arranged at precisely controlled angles to one another. They are used in optical systems to deflect or redirect beams of light. They can invert or rotate images, disperse light into component wavelengths, and separate states of polarization.

Charge coupled device (CCD) cameras contain light-sensitive silicon chips that detect electrons excited by incoming light. They also contain micro circuitry that transfers a detected signal along a row of discrete picture elements or pixels, scanning the image very rapidly. CCD cameras use two-dimensional CCD arrays with many thousand of pixels

CRT monitors use cathode ray tube technology to display output from a computer.

Nanotechnology materials and nanotechnology products have features or particle sizes in the range of 1 to 100 nm.

Signal generators and waveform generators are used to test and align all types of transmitters and receivers, to measure frequency and to generate a signal, waveform or noise source. Signal generators can use AC energy, audio frequency (AF) and radio frequency (RF) to function.

High speed cameras are designed for rapid image acquisition for scientific or industrial analysis of rapidly changing or moving processes.

Camera control units (CCUs) are used to remotely control operations such as zoom, panning, focus, and aperture.

Vision sensors are machine vision video cameras with integrated signal processing and imaging electronics. They typically include program and data interfaces.

Charged coupled device (CCD) image sensors are electronic devices that are capable of transforming a light pattern (image) into an electric charge pattern (an electronic image).

Low light cameras are designed for low light applications. They contain sensors that are highly sensitive to light and reduce images to a series of lines.

Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) cameras use image sensors that operate at lower voltages than charged coupled devices (CCDs), reducing power consumption for portable applications. Each CMOS active pixel sensor cell has its own buffer amplifier, and can be addressed and read individually. 

Video format converters are used to convert video signals from one standard to another. These standards include PAL, NTSC, SECAM, CCIR, RS-170 and RS-330.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) modules are used at the component level in place of less efficient displays such as cathode ray tubes (CRTs). These modules do not include a housing and must be incorporated into a larger instrument or system.
