Designed specifically for high speed microscopy, the Focuscope SV-200i incorporates the latest Generation III image intensifier technology to offer enhanced image resolution and broad spectral response from the 280 - 720nm (peak sensitivity 530nm). Providing recording rates of up to 2,000 fps at 512x512 pixel image resolution the Focuscope SV-200i utilizes the high resolution performance and broad spectral response of Generation III image intensifier technology to provide an integrated imaging solution for high speed microscopy applications. To obtain the highest optical efficiency the Focuscope SV200-i camera head incorporates a 512x152 pixel advanced CMOS imaging sensor fiber-optically coupled to an 18mm Generation III image intensifier module. The camera head provides a C-mount thread for attachment to standard optical microscopes and objective lenses. Image intensifier controls are conveniently located on the camera head. A single 6 meter cable connects the SV-200i camera head to a standard PCI format control card. Incorporated on the control card is 2.6GB recording memory allowing a recording time of 8.2 seconds at 1,000fps with 512x512 pixel image resolution. System control is achieved through Photron FASTCAM Viewer (PFV) software providing an intuitive operation environment. FASTCAM SDK software provided with the system allows user specific control commands to be integrated within other environments. Applications include: Blood cell research Calcium spark Micro devices. Fluorescence protein Micro PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)
