The Phantom T4040 captures 4Mpx resolution images at speeds not previously possible. Our proprietary sensor with backside illuminated (BSI) architecture ensures that 40Gpx/s data throughput is sustained and a max frame rate is achieved of 440,000 fps! The camera has a peak Quantum Efficiency rating above 90% thus ensuring the sensor’s ability to capture images at far lower light levels.

The Phantom T4040 offers a 4 Mpx resolution which delivers significant benefits over traditional 1Mpx high-speed cameras. This is especially useful when your subjects require a high level of detail, or you have objects moving across a larger field of view. Flow Visualization techniques including Particle Image Velocimetry are greatly improved due to the precise rendition of the particles’ shape, size, and location. Digital image correlation also gives increased resolution allowing researchers to collect more data over a larger surface area.

With a 9.27 µm pixel size the camera is well suited for subjects across a wide range of fields that require high magnification. Whether in biomechanical studies of insect wing movement or the high-tech world of microchip development, the T4040 delivers the right results. The T-Series camera also offers various lens mount options that allow you to connect specialized optics.

The T4040 includes EDR (Extreme Dynamic Range), which provides mitigation of bright flashes, by dynamically adjusting exposure in saturated areas of the image. It also includes on-camera controls, video outputs and CineMag capability which holds the features necessary for remote, standalone operation.
