The Imager CS camera family is a high sensitivity, high resolution digital camera series equipped with new generation backside illuminated CMOS sensors with excellent image quality and low readout noise. The camera delivers true 8 and 12 bit digital images and comes with a modern CoaXPress-12 interface for distances up to 20 m. Models from 5 MP to 16 MP with high frame rates between 30 – 120 Hz are available.

Like the CS camera family the Imager CS3 camera series combine high sensor resolution with excellent image quality. Due to latest sensor technology highest frame rates between 100 and 240 Hz can be reached depending on the camera model. Versions from 5 MP up to 25 MP are available enabling high resolution measurements for DIC and other applications. The cameras come with a modern CoaXPress-12 interface for distances up to 20 m.

Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) cameras are known for their superior image quality, low read out noise and large dynamic range. The Imager US camera series offers this excellent image quality thanks this state-of-the-art CMOS sensor technology. The camera delivers true 8, 10 and 12 bit digital images and comes with an USB 3.0 interface. Its compact design and the resolution from 2 MP at 155 Hz frame rate up to 25 MP at 14 Hz frame rate makes this camera series ideal for use in all cases of low-speed strain analysis.

The Imager M-lite is a high sensitivity, high resolution digital USB 3 camera series, equipped with the new generation CMOS sensors with excellent image quality and low readout noise. Models are available from 2 to 16 million pixel resolution.

Imager MX cameras are compact high sensitive CMOS cameras with up to 50 million pixel resolution and frame rates up to 150 frames/s at full spatial resolution covering the mid-speed range.

 

The Photron and Phantom cameras are fully integrated within the software and feature CMOS sensors with frame rates of several kHz at highest spatial resolution. Like all other cameras LaVision's high-speed cameras are ready for use in time-resolved applications featuring very high strain rate testing such as impact or blast.
