The X3 system employs a CMOS silicon imaging chip that records colors based on how deeply the light penetrates the three-dimensional "depth" of the silicon wafer (similar to the way three-layer color film emulsions respond to light) and, therefore, is capable of producing three different color values per picture element. For additional information and illustrations on how this unique chip design works, visit the company's website at www.foveon.com.
