The Cheetah 640 CL: Fastest Infrared Camera in the World

Xenics sets the standard for high-speed imaging in SWIR: Capturing the fastest process in real time

How fast is "fast"?
Having a frame rate of 1,730fps at its full 640x512 pixel resolution, the Cheetah 640CL is claimed to be the fastest infrared camera in the world and so "sees" what you can't.

With its combination of high-resolution and high-speed SWIR, the Cheetah-640CL infrared imaging system allows you to visualize the ultra-high-speed features of your specific research application and is perfectly suited for various SWIR applications such as industrial thermal imaging, medical high-speed OCT, hyperspectral imaging, wavefront sensing, advanced high-temperature industrial uses and R&D.

More about the Cheetah 640CL
The high-speed InGaAs 640 x 512 pixel detector array is sensitive from 0.9 to 1.7 µm and has a maximum speed at full resolution of 1730 fps.

Fitted with a single stage thermoelectric cooler, the Cheetah 640CL offers high-quality, low-noise images, and allows you to visualize your specific infrared research application when it's too fast to see.

The camera outputs images via its Dual CameraLink output and is compatible to many popular CameraLink grabbers including the Dalsa Xcelera and X64 series. Interfacing to a PC for visualisation setup, control and image download is done via the CameraLink connection.

The Cheetah-640CL configuration tool permits user-flexibility in setting control parameters such as integration time, operating temperature, frame rate, etc. and comes with an Interface Control Document (ICD) package that makes it addressable under popular programming languages such as C++, Visual Basic or on a lower level under Linux, depending on your own choice of opearting system.
