The Phantom TMX series of high speed cameras uses a Backside Illuminated
(BSI) CMOS sensor for higher sensitivity and speed. Increased speeds
present a need for increased light and with the BSI sensor found
in Phantom TMX cameras this issue is addressed by locating the metal
parts of a traditional sensor that interfere with incident light
to the photodiode to the back of the sensor. One great feature that
the Phantom TMX cameras also offer, is a 38ns FAST mode which
allows the TMX 7510 and TMX 6410 ultra high-speed cameras to reach
a minimum exposure of 38ns.
Additionally, all Phantom TMX models are available in a special
extended UV variant. This allows TMX cameras operate in the
ultraviolet (UV) spectrum to be captured with over 70% QE at 300
nm as well as extending out to Near-InfraRed spectrums up to 1000nm.
Aside from the Spectral Response Curve, all Phantom TMX cameras
with extended UV capabilities maintain the same frame rates, resolutions,
modes, Phantom features, FAST options and optical specifications
as their standard counterparts.
The Phantom TMX series of cameras is the next generation of ultra-high-speed
imaging. It delivers clear, high quality images at speeds not previously
possible.
Phantom TMX 7510 The Phantom TMX 7510 has 75 Gigapixel throughput which can provide
over 76,000 fps at a full 1 Mpx resolution of 1280 x 800. At the
reduced resolution of 1280 x 32, the TMX 7510 delivers a frame rate
of 1,750,000 fps.
Phantom TMX 6410 The Phantom TMX 6410 has a 64 Gigapixel throughput and provides
over 65,940 fps at a full 1Mpx resolution of 1280 x 800. At the
reduced resolution of 1280 x 32, the TMX 6410 produces the frame
rate of 1,516,000.
The TMX series provide higher resolutions than possible before
for applications needing high frame rates. For example, the 6410
can reach over 300,000 fps at 1280 x 160 or 640 x 320 with FAST
mode.
Phantom TMX 5010
The Phantom TMX 5010 has a 50 Gigapixel throughput and provides
over 50,725 fps at its full 1Mpx (1280 x 800) resolution. The TMX
5010 capitalises on the same high-speed Back Side Illuminated sensor
as other TMX models. With a 50Gpx/second throughput, the TMX 5010
offers significant application flexibility and other powerful features
such as enhanced sensitivity and memory capabilities.
The TMX 5010 when run in Region of Interest mode for higher frame
rates is able to do so at higher resolutions. The
TMX 5010 also provides a FAST mode for increased frame rates. The
FAST option feature allows the TMX 5010 to reach speeds of up to
1.16 million fps at reduced resolutions.
Applications
Ballistics
Due to the TMX's high light sensitivity and incredibly high frame
rates, it makes it perfectly suited to ballistics e.g. gunshot analysis
or explosives etc.
Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
Digital Image Correlation is a non-contact method
of observing how an object is affected by impact and vibration.
It can also be used to create 3D imaging of the object to help researches
take exact measurements.
Combustion
Combustion applications often have unique difficulties
that need to be overcome. Aside from being exceptionally fast events
they often have lighting issues as they quickly fluctuate between
being very dark and very bright. Phantom cameras have features that
aid researchers in dealing with these issues.
Droplet Analysis / PIV
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) or droplet analysis,
is a research method that allows scientists to observe the flow
of air, water, and other invisible elements. Phantom cameras are
equipped with high-resolution sensors to make particle tracking
simple.
Key Features
Incredible speeds for high-speed applications:
- Very high native
light sensitivity, made possible by backside illuminated CMOS sensor
- Extremely
high frame rates at larger resolutions, up to 1.75 Million fps* at
1280 x 32 and 640 x 64 (TMX7510). 1 µs minimum exposure standard,
95ns with 95nsFAST option. The TMX7510 and 6410 also can even achieve
38ns with the 38nsFAST option.
- Real data for real results: frame rates are actual
with no interpolation.
Focus on data management:
- Record multiple experiments with up to 512 GB of memory
that can be portioned up to 511 times
- 10 Gb Ethernet is standard for the fastest data download
directly from the camera's RAM buffer
- Use the Phantom CineMag V for up to 8TB
of non-volatile memory and fast image transfer
