• Ultima APX-RS, 1024 x 1024 pixels @ 3,000fps, max 250,000fps

Fastcam products: Camera systems consisting of a camera head, cable and a control card which must be installed into a Windows based desktop machine or luggable computer. All of the image storage is on the PCI control card and the system is controlled through our PFV software and PC display.

Ultima products: Camera systems that can be setup and operated without a PC connected. Images are stored in a separate or integrated processor containing special memory. Live and captured images can be viewed via a composite video output and the camera can be setup via a keypad and on screen menus. A PC need only be connected to download image sequences in their digital form from the camera built in memory. The PC can be used to view live and recorded images and also take control of all of the camera functions – in fact most users operate the systems via a PC.

All prices excluding any additional memory and accessory options, maximum frame rates are all with a reduced resolution.

Suitable lenses

• Navitar’s range of fast 1" format c-mount lenses are ideal for high speed applications.
• For macro high speed applications the Navitar 12x c-mount zoom system is highly recommended.

Cooled Cameras for Fluorescence Microscopy
