iPhone 7 Plus Digital Camera Focal Plane Sensor Chips Showing Pixel-To-Pixel Noise - 2

I darkened the photo a bit to make the vertical lines more visible. The vertical and horizontal lines are much more visible on my iPhone 7 Plus screen.

 

I recommend moving back away from your monitor. That seems to help to see the vertical lines., and to a lesser degree, the horizontal lines.

 

Happy Macro Mondays, HMM!

 

I no longer have any electronic components at hand, and I was reluctant to destroy any image storage cards.. However, I have often been intrigued by the pixel-to-pixel noise on the focal plane sensor chips in modern digital cameras. To bring out the details, I photographed the side of a black bookcase illuminated by very dim light where sensor residual noise is most pronounced.

 

I processed the resulting noise using the filters in Apple's Photos app followed by the filters in Adobe's PS Express app on my iPhone 7 Plus.

 

By moving your eye around, you should see vertical and horizontal lines forming squares. These are some of the sensor chips or leakage drain channels in my iPhone 7 Plus digital camera.

 

I have cropped quite a bit!

 

We are looking at the iPhone 7 Plus Digital Camera’s Focal Plane Sensor Chips Showing Pixel-To-Pixel Noise.

 

When time permits I will show some of the dozens of screen captures of all the processing app filters I used to bring out the chip boundaries.

 

This result worked for me. I expect that each viewer will see the chip boundaries most clearly in their own favorite filter combo.
