Point-and-shoot CCD camera images transient events

It is able to capture images of transient events at up to an 11-megapixel resolution.

The ability to operate at shutter speeds faster than 1us eliminates motion blur.

This, together with high optical sensitivity across a 12-bit dynamic range, enables the T-Cam to provide high image quality.

The T-Cam is equipped with two trigger inputs that are capable of accepting trigger signals from almost any conceivable source.

The SI Sure-shot velocity triggering system is also incorporated for use where this is appropriate.

The Sure-shot system takes an input from two spatially separated detectors, allowing the camera to calculate the correct exposure timing, irrespective of the subject's velocity.

Two independent customer-programmable pulse outputs are also included in the T-Cam to allow control of external lighting or other instruments.

Combining robust, compact design with intuitive software, the T-Cam enables even occasional users to capture quality images from transient events.

Typical applications for the T-Cam include bio/chemiluminescence imaging, gas-flow imaging, photochemistry, photo physics, time-resolved spectroscopy, transient absorption, emission spectroscopy and shadowgraphy.
