Review of electron-bombarded CCD cameras

Many of the earlier technical problems related to the development of electron bombarded CCD (EBCCD) cameras are being solved by new methods. The early work on EBCCD cameras is reviewed, and results from recent developments in this field are discussed. It appears that sufficient progress has been made to state that the new era of EBCCD imager technology for low-light-level and photon-counting applications has begun.
