The present invention discloses an apparatus of high dynamic-range CMOS image sensor and method thereof. In one implementation, a multi-station workpiece processor includes a processing chamber comprising multiple stations for processing individual workpieces. When a document is conveyed along the glass platen, the glass platen is moved in the subscanning direction together with the support member. The invention also relates to an arrangement for holographic recording of data, comprising a data storage medium with a waveguide holographic storage layer, and an optical system for writing and reading the holograms.
