HICAM

is manufactured

by

The HICAM series Cameras offer the unique combination of high-speed and sensitivity down to single photon level. These properties are achieved by using a dual stage image intensifier that is fiber-optically coupled to the CMOS sensor. Depending on the specific application the spectral sensitivity can be selected.

Advantages of having an image intensifier in front of a high speed camera


  1. -The sensitivity increases for high-speed low light applications, for example where the object itself is emitting light at an intensity that is too low for normal high-speed cameras (flames, fluorescence cells, low intensity PIV, electric discharges, etc).


  3. -There is no need for high power light sources. On places where the heat generated by these light sources will have an unacceptable influence on a measurement an intensified high-speed camera can offer a solution.


  5. -The possibility of ultra short exposure times. With the gating feature of the image intensifier it is possible to have effective exposure times down to 40ns or even 5ns. This makes it possible to capture even the fastest objects without motion blur.
