Images obtained with K011 camera

      Pic. 1. Flight of a liquid drop, accelerated              Pic. 2. Membrane rupture by high gas pressure.

Main components of the camera:

• input lens (a set of lenses is an option);
• electromechanical shutter;
• PIM-113 streak tube with S-25 photocathode applied on a fiber-optic disk, two pairs of deflecting plates, one microchannel plate (MCP) and luminescent screen applied on a fiber-optic disk;
• power supply unit;
• control unit with full control from PC;
• 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;
• neutral density filters D~0.5, 1, 2, installed on the input lens or on its seat;
• frame window, installed close to the photocathode, defining visible frame area;
• frame test object (GOI No. 4 test object), installed close to the cathode fiber-optic disk to perform spatial resolution check;
• 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
