Specialised Imaging

The SIM series of Ultra-Fast Framing cameras from Specialised Imaging offer ultra-high speed imaging performance enabling scientists and engineers to extend the boundaries of their research and development. Capable of capturing up to 16 images at 1 billion frames per second, SIM ultra-fast framing cameras are able to capture visual data from even the most transient of phenomena.

Specialised Imaging reports on how the Institute for Carbon Composites, Technical University of Munich, Germany is using a Kirana Ultra High-Speed camera to record high resolution images of a unidirectional Carbon-Epoxy composite material undergoing a dynamic tension test on a split-Hopkinson Tension Bar.

Specialised Imaging reports on a technical article, written by researchers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia** - that describes the use of a Kirana ultra high-speed video system to undertake time-resolved imaging of a compressible air disk that forms under a drop impacting on a solid surface.

Specialised Imaging reports on how UK academic research groups have benefited from use of its SIM series ultra-high speed imaging camera.

The new generation SIR3 Series compact range camera from Specialised Imaging is lightweight and robust making it ideally suited for the harsh indoor and outdoor environments associated with ballistic proofing ground and industrial use.  

REL, the high tech material, testing and process development specialist has expanded capabilities in its high strain rate lab by combining a Specialised Imaging Kirana Ultra High-Speed camera with a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) system. The Kirana camera provides REL with the ability to create high-resolution images of the ultra high-speed events that often occur with materials testing.

Specialised Imaging has upgraded its SIM Ultra Fast Framing Camera to include an integral auxiliary port enabling the system to be interfaced with high speed video, streak cameras, mass spectrometers or time resolved spectrometers. It incorporates a supplementary optical port, that uses a beamsplitter to deliver 50% of the primary image to a secondary image plane, allowing secondary instruments to share the same optical axis, thereby providing true undistorted datasets for simultaneous data measurement.

Specialised Imaging, working in conjunction with Cavitar, announces the SI LUX640 laser illumination system - a new innovation to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of high-speed video, ultra high-speed framing camera, Schleiren imaging and Shadowgraph systems.  

Specialised Imaging has introduced Kirana - a new ultra high-speed video camera that combines the flexibility of video technology with the resolution of an ultra high speed framing camera. Incorporating a proprietary hybrid camera sensor the compact Kirana Ultra High-Speed Video Camera is uniquely able to deliver high resolution (924 x 768 pixels) and high speed (up to 2 million frames / second) in a no compromise design.

The SIR3 camera from Specialised Imaging is compact, lightweight and robust, making it ideally suited for the harsh outdoor and indoor environments associated with military proofing grounds and industrial use. The SIR3 captures ultra-high resolution (11 megapixel) images and has the ability to simultaneously acquire two separate full resolution images.
