microscope photo of the very edge of a linear CCD chip. The gold plated lead-frame has twelve pins bonded to pads clustered toward the very right side of the long thin die. to the left of that, centered, you can make out individual logic elements in the driver circuit for the CCD. left of that is the actual sensing array, covered in a black opaque mask with vibrant red green and blue filter lines within. the die is very long and extends left past the end of the frame.
