Auxillary viewport enhances scope of billion frames / second camera

04 Apr 2012

The SIM-D from Specialised Imaging is a compact ultra fast framing camera system, capable of scanning up to 1 billion frames / second, that combines ease of use, high reliability and high performance.

A new auxillary viewpoint option enables research groups to now interface high speed video, streak cameras or time-resolve spectrometers with their SIM-D camera.

The intuitive design of the SIM-D allows even occasional users to achieve top quality results. A novel optical periscope for focus adjustment enables rapid and simple experimental setup and optimisation. Comprehensive triggering facilities, highly accurate timing control, and a wide range of output signals, coupled with a software package that includes full measurement and image enhancement functions simplifies image capture. Full remote operation using Ethernet connectivity comes as standard enabling the SIM-D to be easily integrated into almost any environment.

Unlike many traditional ultra fast framing cameras the optical design of the SIM-D provides the choice of up to 16 separate optical channels without compromising performance or image quality. Effects such as parallax and shading, inherent in other designs, are eliminated and the high spatial resolution (> 36 lp/mm) is the same from frame to frame and in both axes. Individual ultra-high resolution intensified CCD detectors, controlled by state-of-the-art electronics, offer almost infinite control over gain and exposure allowing researchers total freedom to capture images of even the most difficult transient phenomena.

Proven in leading industrial and academic research labs around the world the SIM-D Ultra Fast Framing camera is perfectly suited for applications in fields as diverse as automotive testing, biomedical research, combustion research, failure dynamics, impact studies and nanotechnology.
