  • Publication number: 20240155229
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes a plurality of pixels, a first amplifier capable of amplifying a signal of each pixel using a plurality of different gains, a second amplifier capable of amplifying the signal of each pixel using a plurality of different gains, with a method different from a method used by the first amplifier; and a control unit that performs control so as to execute one of first processing and second processing based on a shooting mode of the image capturing apparatus, a setting at the time of shooting, or a state of a subject, the first processing causing the first amplifier to amplify the signal of each pixel using a plurality of different gains, the second processing causing the second amplifier to amplify the signal of each pixel using a plurality of different gains.

  • Patent number: 7402809
    Abstract: When a heating process is performed in a state where a thermal transfer sheet is superimposed on a scintillator plate, a film of the thermal transfer sheet is separated from the thermal transfer sheet and adhered onto the scintillator plate. The film includes a protective layer, an aluminum layer, and an adhesive layer. The aluminum layer is protected by the protective layer. Because the scintillator plate by itself functions as a rear surface support substrate with respect to the protective layer and the aluminum layer, a film which is highly resistive against an external effect can be formed. A plurality of films can be layered on the scintillator plate. A pressure transfer method can also be used for formation of the film. A scintillator member in which the film has been formed is disposed in a radiation measuring device.
