There is little doubt that array detectors of some kind will eventually take over from the single-pixel detectors now used for precise work. The takeover, however, is a gradual process; more and more problems are encountered as the required precision is raised. Very broadly speaking, the best array detector practice has now reached 0.01 mag in photometry and 0.1% in polarimetry (0.001 and 0.005% respectively for single detectors). Whenever this precision of the array detectors is sufficient and the multiplex advantage vital to the programme comtemplated, the array detectors are the indicated path to progress (see, for instance, Ref. 1).
