Abstract
It has been ten years since solid state devices, such as CCDs, have been discussed for use in astronomy. There is by now enough information, in the form of laboratory data on a variety of devices and published scientific results, to confirm the original assessment that solid state arrays will become a permanent entry in the repertory of astronomical instruments.
