PiV Framing Camera

The PiV 40-16MIV camera system is the ultimate state-of-the-art camera system for ultra high speed shuttering with resolution. With two independent user programmed intensified frames, each with a minimum exposure of 20ns (10ns optional) and a 16 Mega-pixel CCD, the system can easily capture in great detail ultra high speed events over an extensive temporal (and illumination) range. In addition, each frame may be multiple exposed for even greater flexibility. An optical viewfinder is included as an option (-V) for aid in focus and system setup. The system is intrinsically both UV and visible sensitive but can be ordered either with an an S20 (UV bias) or S25 (visible bias) photo-cathode.

Synchronization is easily handled with positive, negative, make and break (self powered) input trigger signals and four user programmable output strobes (plus gate monitor) for the additional synchronization of external cameras, systems or strobes or even to trigger the experiment itself.

All PiV cameras are designed to be easy to use and come complete with turn-key Windows based software. Extremely compact and rugged, with easy GigE interfacing and simple power supply and operational requirements the units are designed for a long installed life with the minimum of service requirements.
