Phantom TMX Cameras

Ultra-high-speed cameras with Backside Illuminated CMOS sensor technology

The Phantom TMX series of high speed cameras uses a Backside Illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor for higher sensitivity and speed.

Increased speeds present a need for increased light and with the BSI sensor found in Phantom TMX cameras this issue is addressed by locating the metal parts of a traditional sensor that interfere with incident light to the photodiode to the back of the sensor.

One great feature that the Phantom TMX cameras also offer is a 38ns FAST mode which allows the TMX 7510 and TMX 6410 ultra high-speed cameras to reach a minimum exposure of 38ns.

Phantom TMX Series Overview

Extended UV models

Additionally, all Phantom TMX models are available in a special extended UV variant. This allows TMX cameras operate in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum to be captured with over 70% QE at 300 nm as well as extending out to Near-InfraRed spectrums up to 1000nm.

Aside from the Spectral Response Curve, all Phantom TMX cameras with extended UV capabilities maintain the same frame rates, resolutions, modes, Phantom features, FAST options and optical specifications as their standard counterparts.

Next generation ultra-high-speed imaging

The Phantom TMX series of cameras is the next generation of ultra-high-speed imaging. It delivers clear, high quality images at speeds not previously possible.

Higher resolutions at high frame rates

The TMX series provide higher resolutions than possible before for applications needing high frame rates. For example, the 6410 can reach over 300,000 fps at 1280 x 160 or 640 x 320 with FAST mode.

TMX Camera Models

Phantom TMX 7510 high speed camera Phantom TMX 7510

The Phantom TMX 7510 has 75 Gigapixel throughput which can provide over 76,000 fps at a full 1 Mpx resolution of 1280 x 800. At the reduced resolution of 1280 x 32, the TMX 7510 delivers a frame rate of 1,750,000 fps.

Phantom TMX 6410 high speed camera Phantom TMX 6410

The Phantom TMX 6410 has a 64 Gigapixel throughput and provides over 65,940 fps at a full 1Mpx resolution of 1280 x 800. At the reduced resolution of 1280 x 32, the TMX 6410 produces the frame rate of 1,516,000.

Phantom TMX 5010 high speed camera Phantom TMX 5010

The Phantom TMX 5010 has a 50 Gigapixel throughput and provides over 50,725 fps at its full 1Mpx resolution. The FAST option feature allows the TMX 5010 to reach speeds of up to 1.16 million fps at reduced resolutions.

Applications

Ballistics

Due to the TMX's high light sensitivity and incredibly high frame rates, it makes it perfectly suited to ballistics e.g. gunshot analysis or explosives etc.

Digital Image Correlation

Digital Image Correlation is a non-contact method of observing how an object is affected by impact and vibration. It can also be used to create 3D imaging of the object to help researches take exact measurements.

Combustion

Combustion applications often have unique difficulties that need to be overcome. Aside from being exceptionally fast events they often have lighting issues as they quickly fluctuate between being very dark and very bright.

Droplet Analysis / PIV

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) or droplet analysis is a research method that allows scientists to observe the flow of air, water, and other invisible elements.

Key Features

Incredible speeds

Very high native light sensitivity, made possible by backside illuminated CMOS sensor.

FAST mode options

Extremely high frame rates at larger resolutions, up to 1.75 Million fps at 1280 x 32 and 640 x 64 for the TMX7510.

Real data for real results

Frame rates are actual with no interpolation.

Data management

Record multiple experiments with up to 512 GB of memory that can be portioned up to 511 times.

Fast download

10 Gb Ethernet is standard for the fastest data download directly from the camera's RAM buffer.

CineMag support

Use the Phantom CineMag V for up to 8TB of non-volatile memory and fast image transfer.
