Phantom KT1640

The Phantom KT1640 features the latest back side illuminated (BSI) sensor technology at 2560 x 1664-pixel resolution, ensuring optimal response in light-starved conditions. These features make it ideal for advanced scientific high-speed imaging techniques like DIC, PIV and Schlieren flow visualization.

Engineered for advanced scientific imaging, the KT1640 captures 4.2-Mpx resolution at high frame rates ideal for analyzing fine details and fast-moving fragments. Its compact 3.2 kg build reduces setup complexity, making it perfect for tight lab spaces and intricate experimental configurations.

  • Seamless integration: Programmable I/O capabilities let you customize triggering and synchronization precisely to your research needs.
  • Premium features: Capture remarkable detail with Extreme Dynamic Range (EDR) that effectively manages extremely luminous events.
  • Streamlined workflow: Save time with image-based auto-trigger (IBAT), multi-Cine partitions and continuous recording through PCC software.

Phantom KT-Series cameras come equipped with features that enable portability for remote field work and the connectivity required for both simple and advanced scientific applications in a laboratory or research environment.

  • Operate remotely in the field: Alternatively, use the camera’s on-camera control interface and save to removable CF-Express cards for a standalone, untethered workflow.
  • Standard 10Gb Ethernet: Reliably control and efficiently download via PCC software.
  • Designed for scientific imaging: The KT1640 performs exceptionally in advanced scientific applications with limited available light, including fluorescence imaging, gated experiments and scintillator-based tests.
NEXT-GEN SENSOR PERFORMANCE

The KT1640’s proprietary sensor technology features a stunning 2560 x 1664-pixel resolution BSI sensor where photons have direct access to photodiodes for optimal response in light-starved conditions.

  • BSI sensor architecture achieves a QExFF (Quantum Efficiency x Fill Factor) of 88.7% (mono).
  • Binned mode combines pixels for a frame rate boost and improved aspect ratio at 1280 x 832 and below.
  • Unrivaled performance standards: Comprehensive test reports following the EMVA 1288 standard provide clear verification of the sensor’s superior performance, highlighting the exceptional pixel response in challenging light conditions.
