Specialised Imaging announces the introduction of a new state-of-the-art processor for its SIM family of ultra-fast framing cameras.

The new processor will allow new remote operation capabilities as well as improving the download speed by a factor of 50, allowing faster real-time focusing from the control computer and large file transfer in less than 5 seconds.

The SIM family of multi-channel framing cameras has established itself as the ultra-fast camera of choice for many leading research groups around the world through its proven unmatched performance, reliability, ease-of-use, and wide applications flexibility.

Using high-resolution image intensifiers, no-compromise optical design, and double pulsing - SIM Cameras offer the ultimate in ultra-high-speed imaging performance to scientists and engineers. Capable of capturing images at 1,000,000,000 frames per second, with gating down to 3ns, the Specialised Imaging SIM camera takes the capture of images for accurate, high-speed spatial analysis of fast transient events to a new level. The high throughput SIM camera optical design offers up to 16 separate channels without compromising resolution, shading, or parallax. The additional advantage of an innovative auxiliary view port, allowing other optical instruments makes the SIM the most versatile imaging system on the market.

The intuitive design of the SIM camera allows even occasional users to achieve top quality results. Comprehensive triggering facilities, highly accurate timing control, and a wide range of output signals, coupled with a software package that includes full measurement and image enhancement functions simplifies image capture. Full remote operation using Ethernet connectivity comes as standard enabling the SIM to be easily integrated into almost any environment.
