Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photon counting image sensors are playing ever more crucial roles in a wide variety of research and commercial fields. The ultimate detection sensitivity provided by their ability to detect single quanta of electromagnetic energy over a broad spectrum from infrared up to high-energy gamma-rays, with timing precision into the picosecond regime, has potential applications in many fields. These cover a diverse range from medical imaging to particle physics, homeland security to astronomy, and from consumer applications to microscopy. In this Special Issue, we will highlight the latest developments in a series of invited papers covering all areas of photon-counting imaging technology.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
