Photron has released the Fastcam Mini AX200 high speed camera system. The compact, high-G camera offers 1,024 x 1,024 pixel resolution at 6,400 frames per second, and up to 900,000 fps at reduced resolution. It has a light sensitivity of ISO 40,000 (mono) and ISO 16,000 (colour), as measured to the industry’s true ISO Ssat 12232 standard.
The Fastcam Mini AX200 is specially designed for demanding automotive, military, and industrial high-speed imaging tasks and for high-frame-rate imaging in laboratory applications.
The new camera’s light sensitivity enables the video capture of extremely high speed events, without the need for additional lighting packages. It also permits faster frame rates, shorter shutter speeds, and greater depths of field under the same lighting conditions, without added illumination.
With 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB memory options, the Fastcam Mini AX200 has a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet interface to make it easy to view and analyse the slow motion video data from a desktop or laptop PC. The compact camera body is designed for high-shock, high-G environments and tested to 100G, 10ms, 6 axes.
Target applications for Photron’s new camera include biomechanics, onboard and offboard automotive safety testing, defence/aerospace research, material sciences, fluid dynamics such as PIV, life sciences, and demanding laboratory research tasks.
