CCD and CMOS can be detected by infrared or ultraviolet?

if not, can detect any wavelength of light to one side of the visible spectrum O_O

Hi Justin CCD cameras and CMOS cameras are usually made of silicon and thus detect any light that falls on them, which is absorbed by silicon. In principle, it should be detected in the UV and ways out in the infrared around 1 micron, where silicon becomes transparent. However, many cameras that can be buy color filters are included in front of the detector to allow the color image is formed - these restrict the wavelength range of the camera. cameras Science in general, do not include these filters. and thus can be used outside of the visible.
