General
Fastec IL5: a versatile high-speed camera
Fastec's IL Series high-speed cameras are compact yet versatile recording systems used for lab research, where speed and accuracy are needed. A common application of the IL5 camera is the capture of droplet generation experiments in microfluidics for droplet analysis, counting, or slow motion.
- Advanced 2560 x 2080 12-bit CMOS sensor with 5µm low-noise pixel for superior depth of field and high system magnification
- Full HD frame rates above 600 fps, over 20000 fps at lower resolutions
- Internal memory of 8GB for standard high-speed recordings
- Onboard SD card and USB port as well as optional built-in SSD provide mass storage for sequential testing
- Optional internal SSD up to 2TB with streaming capabilities are available for long record applications
- Wide ISO range
- Configurable I/O ports for data capture, triggering and sync
- Flexible triggering options include software, hardware, image, and timed triggers
- Built-in web interface for control via browser on PC, tablet, or phone
- Control your camera and capture videos with the FasMotion advanced software for Windows, Mac or Linux. Multi-camera controls, synchronization and batch downloads
