Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many commercial applications today require imaging systems with very high performance, integration capabilities, and low power consumption. On the other hand, solid-state image sensors are used more and more frequently in very specific environments that require ad hoc developments to advance various state-of-the-art research areas, e.g., radiation hardening, high-speed imaging, low noise amplification, single-photon/particle detection, and time of flight measurement.
This Special Issue gathers together solid-state image sensor developments for emerging scientific applications. Advances in design (architecture and process) and characterization of imaging systems are presented focusing on scientific fields such as the following:
- Space applications;
- Biomedical imaging;
- Imaging in nuclear environments;
- Microscopy, spectroscopy, and photonics image sensors developments;
- Particle detection and photon counting applications;
- Non-visible light imaging;
- Range Imaging.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
