Ultracam7
Intensified High-Speed (6688 fps full-frame) Camera
The
Ultracam7
is a very high sensitivity
high speed camera capable of acquiring images
at 6688 fps at light levels as low as
2.0 x 10-7 fc. Exposure times as low as 50ns can be achieved.
The camera can be used for special imaging of
rapid events where only low ambient
light is available.
Multiple exposures per frame can be achieved
through external control. Utilizing the ability to achieve short exposure
times the camera can achieve a dynamic range of over 5 million.
The
Ultracam7
contains a high quantum
efficiency GEN III Image Intensifier with
broadband
response from 350 to 900nm at an average
quantum efficiency (QE) of 35 to 40%
with higher
QE available on special request. This
high performance intensifier is backed up
by a booster intensifier. This
combination is fiber
optically coupled to a high sensitivity 800 x 600
CMOS sensor. This sensor is capable of
high
resolution and attaining 6688 fps. Lower frame rates are also
achievable. UV response from 200nm is available as an option.
The camera is controlled by computer via a Gigabit Ethernet
and a RS-232 connection. The camera
comes complete with all the software, cables and power supply required for
operation.
