Mark Goldstein | Websites | June 17, 2003 | 0 Comments

Digital Outback Photo’s series of articles looking at the more technical aspects of digital photography continues with Number 2 in the series, “Pixel Size”. Dick Merrill from Foveon looks at the importance of pixel size and the impact that it has.

“A smaller pixel size allows more pixels to fit in a given field size, increasing resolution. However as the pixel size becomes smaller, fundamental physical limits become increasingly important, placing a practical lower limit on pixel size.”
