At the National Accelerator Laboratory SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center - Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) in Menlo Park, California, the construction of the largest chamber in the world is almost completed. Its resolution is 3.2 GPU, or 3200 MP. To make it all work, a lens with a diameter of 1.57 meters is used: The minimum shutter speed is 15 seconds. This length is due to the size of the matrix, which must be closed when creating a snapshot. In fact, these are 189 separate CCD matrices, each of which has a resolution of 16 megapixels. All matrices are combined according to the formula 3 × 3, that is, nine pieces in each square block, of which there are 21 pieces.
