Abstract
About 15 large format CCD cameras/magnetographs for imaging the fine structures of the solar surface will be attached to a 1-meter solar telescope and 4 EUV telescopes. To avoid using mechanical shutters which may cause unreliabilities under the heavy duty and harsh environments, split frame transfer CCDs were selected. This manuscript describes the design concepts of the cameras by use of those split frame transfer chips as well as some recent experience obtained from preliminary experiments. In addition the scientific requirements to be met by those cameras are briefly outlined.
