NEO 25 UV: High-Sensitivity Ultra-High-Speed UV Camera
The NEO 25 UV high-speed camera represents an advanced imaging solution specifically engineered for high-speed ultraviolet observation, low-light UV emissions, and faint chemiluminescence analysis. Built around a new-generation Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor with enhanced UV sensitivity, this camera eliminates the need for external image intensifiers while maximizing photon capture efficiency across microsecond exposure times.
Achieving a maximum frame rate of 25,000 fps at full 1280 x 1024Â resolution and reaching up to 1,000,000 fps at reduced ROI (1280 x 16), the NEO 25 UV delivers unprecedented temporal precision for advanced flame diagnostics, plasma dynamics, and high-energy physics research.
Built for demanding laboratory and field environments, the NEO 25 UV features an integrated mechanical shutter, IP64 ingress protection, robust shock and vibration resistance, and high-speed 10Gb Ethernet data offloading.

NEO 25 UV – Multiple Bands | Different Reaction Zones
NEO 25 UV significantly expands the radical bands that can be observed directly without an image intensifier. The key limit in high-speed UV imaging is the rapid photon loss per frame as exposure time shortens. NEO UV improves direct UV photon detection at the sensor level, allowing several radical bands to bypass the extra intensifier stage.

Software: Equipped with the Revealer RCC4.0 Acquisition System for Enhanced Imaging, Processing, and Display
Each Revealer High-Speed camera comes with the Revealer RCC4.0 acquisition suite for imaging, processing, display, and managing storage. Its modular design enables seamless connection, data acquisition, and export operations throughout the entire workflow. It was designed as a multi-device suite, allowing multi-threaded management: shooting, downloading and analysis operate independently without interference. It supports secondary processing of local data, serving not only as data acquisition and control software, but also as a video player. Supports data analysis, point, line, and area measurements.
- Keyframe Detection: Using image change-detection, Keyframe Detection scans ultra-high-speed recordings and marks the segments most likely to contain the moment you care about.
- Variable Frame Rate Recording: With options for an Instantaneous or Gradual frame rate change, it allows to capture efficiently transient events, or continuous processes with slow transitions.
- Dual-Exposure Mode: Switches exposure time during capture so both a very bright and very dark region stay readable.
- Scheduled & Line-Crossing Triggers: Auto-fire at a preset time and count, or fire when a target crosses a preset line to catch a relevant event.
- Multi-Camera Synchronized Capture: All cameras capture on the same frame, driven by camera time-synchronization. Essential for 3D reconstruction and multi-angle analysis.
