IVV UBSi 1 Billion FPS Ultra High Speed Framing Camera

The Ultra UBSi series of compact ultra high speed framing cameras are designed to capture 12 or 24 mega-pixel performance frames of the most extreme events. Fully independently programmable exposures and delays from 1ns (optically calibrated) they offer true framing rates to 1 Billion fps. Both systems are intensified and offer versatile triggering options. These cameras allow the researcher unparalleled flexibility to capture the event. The system is completed with IVV Imprint PC software which seamlessly allows for full multi-camera control, capture, image analysis and file/data export for all current IVV cameras.
