X-ray imaging and spectroscopy with charge coupled devices

Recent advances in X-ray astronomy which have been obtained by the employment of imaging detectors are noted. The application of several types of devices to imaging at the focal plane of future space-borne X-ray telescopes is reviewed, and the Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is shown to be competitive w...
