Which term describes the distance between centers of adjacent pixels?

• A. Pixel Pitch
• B. Bit Depth
• C. Exposure Latitude
• D. Image Latitude

Answer: (A)

Pixel pitch is the distance from the center of one pixel to the center of the adjacent pixel. This measure shows how densely pixels are packed, which directly affects spatial resolution—the smaller the pitch, the more pixels fit into a given area and the finer the detail you can resolve. Keep in mind that other terms describe different aspects: bit depth relates to how many color or gray levels a pixel can store, while exposure latitude and image latitude refer to the range of exposure the image can tolerate. So the distance between centers of adjacent pixels is described by pixel pitch.
