(Photron: San Diego) -- Photron Inc., a global manufacturer of high-speed imaging systems and image-analysis software, has introduced the ultra-high-speed, high-resolution camera system, the Fastcam IS-1M. The 312 × 260 pixel resolution ISIS (in-situ image storage) CCD sensor system is designed to capture a wide range of high-speed phenomena at up to 1 million frames per second. The key feature of the new camera is the sensor, where the signal storage areas for the recorded images are incorporated within the chip. Extremely light-sensitive, the Fastcam IS-1M captures a wide range of high-speed events, even in low-light conditions. When using two or more cameras, the 10-bit monochrome Fastcam IS-1M high-speed camera system allows synchronous recording, which supports phenomenological analysis from a variety of angles.
