Vertically integrated photon imaging chip.
A 64-by-64-pixal Vertically Integrated Photon Imaging Chip (VIPIC) prototype tested at Argonne this summer flaunted three essential properties: timing resolution within one microsecond; continuous new-data acquisition with simultaneous old-data read-out; and selective transmission of only pixels containing data. The results achieved with the prototype have attracted attention from the scientific community. Original public domain image from Flickr
