METHOD AND DEVICE OF IMAGING WITH AN IMAGER HAVING A FIBER PLATE COVER

摘要

There is provided an imager which may be used for capturing an object on only portion of its active area. This imager may further be used to capture additional optic information on one or more of its area that is unusable for the object. The additional optic information may be indicative of several physical or chemical variables such as measured pressure, measured pH, measured temperature and the like. These measurements may be transformed into optical signal which may be received on the imager and transmitted using the transmission infrastructure used for transmission of the optical data of the object.
