Many modern spectrometric instruments use diode arrays, charge-coupled arrays, or CMOS cameras for detection and measurement. As portable or point-of-use instruments are desirable, one would expect that instruments using the cameras in cellular telephones and tablet computers would be the basis of numerous instruments. However, no mass market for such devices has yet developed. The difficulties in using megapixel CMOS cameras for scientific measurements are discussed, and promising avenues for instrument development reviewed. Inexpensive alternatives to use of the built-in camera are also mentioned, as the long-term question is whether it is better to overcome the constraints of CMOS cameras or to bypass them.
许多现代光谱仪器使用二极管阵列、电荷耦合阵列或CMOS相机进行检测和测量。由于便携式或即时使用的仪器很受欢迎，人们可能会认为，使用手机和平板电脑中的相机的仪器将成为众多仪器的基础。然而，此类设备尚未形成大规模市场。文中讨论了使用百万像素CMOS相机进行科学测量时存在的困难，并对仪器开发的前景进行了综述。文中还提到了使用内置相机的廉价替代方案，因为长期存在的问题是，克服CMOS相机的限制更好，还是绕过这些限制更好。
