Camera systems and scanners must have high resolutions. This creates difficulties for all applications where low light intensity means neither the resolution of the chip nor the exposure time for changing or moving objects can be freely chosen. Typical applications are fluorescence microscopy, white-light interferometry (OCT in medical technology or general surface structural analysis), or surveillance cameras and cameras for aerial photography. Further fields of application are scanners used to digitize data, e.g. for plans, technical drawings etc. Pixel sub-stepping makes it possible to significantly improve the resolution with relatively little effort.
Physick Instrumente details how to increase the resolution of sensor chips in a new paper:
