Multiple framing camera works at high speeds
A multiple framing camera represents a novel instrumental approach that overcomes the traditional problems associated with simultaneous high-speed image capture.
Multi-headed flash lamp for ultra fast cameras
Specialised Imaging has announced a new generation of multi-headed Xenon flash lamp specifically designed and optimised for use with ultra fast cameras that have short recording times.
Applications for ultra high speed multiple framing cameras include material studies (impact mechanics, crack propagation, impact deformation), automotive (combustion research), aerospace (stress failure, aerodynamic performance), high voltage electrical discharge research, plasma display studies and microdevices (dynamics of operation).
Wai Chan, Managing Director of Specialised Imaging .
commented "The SIM framing camera was designed to extend the analytical gathering capacity of high-speed data from ultra fast events.

The new SIM Multi-Channel Framing Camera from Specialised Imaging takes the capture of images for accurate, high-speed spatial analysis of transient events to a new level.
High-speed camera offers double imaging capability
Available from Specialised Imaging, the SIR2 is a unique high performance, high-speed camera that offers true double imaging capability.
Our system uniquely is able to eliminate effects such as parallax and shading, inherent in other designs, and the high spatial resolution ( 50 lp/mm) is the same frame to frame and in both axes.
We have also overcome simultaneous high-speed image capture problems by incorporating an optical port into the primary beamsplitter to which various secondary recording instrumentation can be interfaced.
The SIM optical port framing camera not only enables direct interfacing with high-speed video, a streak camera or a time resolved spectrometer but also offers the added advantage that the secondary recording is made from the same optical viewpoint as the ultra fast discrete image sequence".

takes the capture of images for accurate, high-speed spatial analysis of fast transient events to a new level.
Unlike traditional high-speed framing cameras the unique optical design of the SIM provides the choice of 4, 6, 8 or even 16 separate optical channels without comprising performance or image quality.
An integral TFT monitor allows users to 'see what the camera sees' in real-time, thus allowing users to easily optimise focus and lighting to achieve spectacular results.
Focusing functions, can be controlled locally at the camera while full remote operation is achieved over standard Ethernet cabling enabling the SIM to be easily integrated into almost any environment.
Optional fibre optic communications are available when the camera is used in electrically noisy environments.
Comprehensive operational software provides simple control of imaging parameters and extensive measurement tools to accurately analyse results.
Image archiving in a wide range of industry standard file formats is supported.
