Superconducting camera (SCAM)
Additional recommended knowledgeThe superconducting camera, SCAM, is an ultra fast photon counting camera, developed by the ESA. It is cooled to just 300 thousandths of a degree above absolute zero. This enables its sensitive electronic detectors, known as superconducting tunnel detectors, to register almost every single photon of light that falls into it. Its advantage over a CCD (charge-coupled device) is that it can measure both the brightness (energy) and the colour (wavelength) of a photon. References
