Camera is intended for registration of images of high speed phenomena in soft X-ray spectral range and measurements of spatial-temporal parameters in streak and single-frame modes with maximum temporal resolution of ~ 10 ps.

Small-sized camera with linear sweep and single-frame modes

Fields of application:

• laser physics;
• nuclear physics;
• plasma physics including thermonuclear synthesis;
• electrical breakdowns and discharges;
• x-ray spectroscopy.

Main components of the camera:

• An open PV-204X streak tube with replaceable CsJ and Au photocathodes, microchannel plate (MCP), one pair of sweep plates and luminescent screen on a fiber optic disk.
• power supply unit;
• two interchangeable control units for microsecond and nanosecond sweep and frame ranges;
• SDU RU-05M CCD camera (1392×1032 pixels, 12-bit ADC, linear dynamic range ≥ 300) with electric (≤ 5 m) or fiber optic (≤100 m) connection to PC;
• laptop with installed software;
• "In air" (etched in metal foil) test-objects – sweep test-object and GOI №4 frame test-object, installed close to the cathode to check spatial resolution;
• mounting plate for fixing the camera at the workplace.

Software:

Software allows to obtain visual and digital information about the registered process. Multi-window mode allows to work with multiple images. Images are saved in files, which, in addition to the image, can also contain metadata with information about the shooting conditions, as well as text comments.

Software Features:

• configuring camera triggering settings;
• correction of geometric and photometric distortions of the image, including the non-uniformity of the sweep coefficient;
• calculation of the numerical characteristics of the image (brightness, duration, size, speed);
• image transformations.

Images can be exported to a standard 12-bit TIFF format for further processing in third-party software.

Operating conditions:

• Humidity ≤ 80%
• Temperature 283 – 308 К
• Pressure 95 - 105 kPa
