Suppose you have a 1024 × 1024 pixel CCD with a charge transfer efficiency of 0.99995. The readout pattern is the same as in Figure 8.7 in your textbook. What fraction of the charge collected on the pixel in the upper left corner of the CCD will make it all the way to the output and be recorded?
 

output Readout register Figure 8.7. A schematic representation of a 16 x 16 pixel CCD array. The output register is shown in gray. Charge is transferred vertically from row to row (shown as dotted lines). Following transfer to the readout register, the charges are readout serially to the right.
