Shimadzu has released the Hyper Vision HPV-X video camera. It allows observing ultra-high-speed phenomena with high temporal resolution. The camera is applicable to a broad range of fields requiring high-speed video, such as research in advanced science, engineering and medicine, space technology development, product development, and the identification of the causes of defects.
The camera offers: recording speeds of up to ten million frames per second (in HP mode = half pixel mode (50,000)); storage capacity for up to 256 frames (in HP mode); high resolution of up to 100,000 pixels per frame at ultra-high speeds (in FP mode = full pixel mode (100,000)). Just like the previous model, the simple system configuration offers a compact and highly portable design that makes onsite setup especially easy. The camera head just has to be connected to a laptop computer by cable.
