Nobel Prizes Related to Imaging

The 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics was a split award, half of it related to imaging: Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith "for the invention of an imaging semiconductor circuit – the CCD (Charge Coupled Device) sensor."

Imaging Life - a Nobelprize.org web site with timeline, video and articles about imaging-related innovations.
