2. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

   The stray capacitance can be held relatively constant by shielding the (high impedance) capacitance signal and then connecting the shield to (a low impedance) ground reference. Also, to minimize the unwanted effects of stray capacitance, it is good practice to locate the sensing electronics as near the sensor electrodes as possible.

3. Kinetic inductance detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_inductance_detector

   Chip containing aluminium kinetic inductance detectors with tin absorbers. Image credit: Argonne National Lab. The kinetic inductance detector (KID) — also known as a microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) — is a type of superconducting photon detector capable of counting single photons whilst simultaneously measuring their energy and arrival time to high precision.

4. Electro-optical sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optical_sensor

   An optical sensor converts light rays into electronic signals. It measures the physical quantity of light and then translates it into a form readable by an instrument. An optical sensor is generally part of a larger system that integrates a source of light, a measuring device, and the optical sensor. This is often connected to an electrical ...

5. Capacitive displacement sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_displacement_sensor

   The thickness of plastic materials can be measured with the material placed between two electrodes a set distance apart. These form a type of capacitor. The plastic when placed between the electrodes acts as a dielectric and displaces air (which has dielectric constant of 1, different from the plastic). Consequently, the capacitance between the ...

   Charge coupled device (CCD) cameras were first applied to transmission electron microscopy in the 1980s and later became widespread. [3] [4] For use in a TEM, CCDs are typically coupled with a scintillator such as single crystal Yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) in which electrons from the electron beam are converted to photons, which are then transferred to the sensor of the CCD via a fiber ...

9. Neutron detection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_detection

   Semiconductor detectors in which one of more constituent atoms are neutron reactive are called bulk semiconductor neutron detectors. Bulk solid-state neutron detectors can be divided into two basic categories: those that rely on the detection of charged-particle reaction products and those that rely on the detection of prompt capture gamma rays.
