| + | [* black] Ever wondered what a corner view of the image sensor magnified 350x with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_electron_microscope|Scanning Electron Microscope] looks like? Wonder no more. Can't get enough magnification? Here is a view magnified at [http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/fR1pdbj2GxX6wlDM|3500x]. |
| + | [* black] These tilted images show the micro-lenses making up each pixel of the full frame sensor. |
| + | [* black] The second image shows that these pixels are well-spaced, demonstrating why [http://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/tools-toys/pixels-size-matters/0|not all pixels are created equal]. The large size and ample gaps between pixels allows room for metal signal lines to move each pixel's data without blocking light to the individual photocathode sensors. |
| [* black] Interesting enough, the image sensor in the D600 is manufactured by Sony. | |
| - | [* black] More magnification! A corner of the image sensor die (third picture.) |
