Having just looked at the CCD sensor yesterday... I did not see three
rows, unless they were microscopic.
The light path in this unit is complicated, by my eye. There are
three small lenses and some "light conductors" made of glass or very
clear plastic (rectangular shape).
What puzzled me is the very loose design. The optical parts are held
by plastic pieces with long slots and held together with large sheet
metal screws. Not something you can position accurately.
