The Nova S Fastcam Series brings together unique CMOS image sensor technologies and extensive high-speed digital imaging expertise to provide a camera with the flexibility to be used in a wide variety of applications.
Available in four different models, the offers 12-bit image recording rates up to 16,000 frames per second (fps) at megapixel image resolution, and shutter speeds to 0.2µs. Recording rates to 1,100,000fps are available at reduced image resolution. All of this available from a camera that is rugged, compact, lightweight and provides the best light sensitivity in its class.
