pco.dimax 3.6 DS ST CLHS High-speed Camera
The pco.dimax 3.6 DS ST double shutter CMOS high-speed camera delivers outstanding performance by combining full-resolution imaging with ultra-fast acquisition rates of over 1000 double images per second. Built on our advanced CMOS sensor technology platform, it provides excellent image quality for precise and reliable measurements.
This camera is well suited for demanding applications that require both high speed and exceptional image fidelity, such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), flow analysis, combustion research, impact testing, and other high-speed scientific and industrial imaging tasks.
The pco.dimax 3.6 DS ST features an extremely short interframing time of 250 ns, making it ideally suited for capturing rapid dynamic processes with high temporal accuracy. Full-resolution operation at high speed ensures maximum spatial detail without compromise.
