Description
Advanced CMOS and electronics technology: the pco.dimax HS series combines extremely high frame rates, best light sensitivity and a real 12 bit dynamic range. With more than 7000 fps at a resolution of 1 MPix and 2277 fps at 4 MPix full resolution, rapid events can be precisely imaged in super slow motion using the pco.Dimax HS4 high speed camera. Due to a variety of trigger and synchronization possibilities the HS cameras are suitable for challenging setups like engine research, flow analysis, material testing and further application areas. The image data are transferred via GigE, USB 2.0, USb 3.0 or Camera Link camera interfaces. The available exposure times range from 1.5 μs to 40 ms. Use the pco.dimax HS4 high speed camera with the latest software from PCO.

The high-speed impact of a droplet on a bulk fluid at high Weber number is not well understood but is relevant to the production of marine aerosol by raindrop impact on the sea surface. These splashes produce a subsurface cavity and a crown which closes into a bubble canopy, but a floating layer of immiscible oil, such as a crude oil slick, alters the splash dynamics. 
Crash test of the nose (crashbox) of a formula student car from AMZ Racing from the ETH in Zürich – one of the most successful teams is this series! 
The temporal behavior of mode instabilities in active large mode area fibers is experimentally investigated in detail. Thus, apart from the onset threshold of mode instabilities, the output beam is characterized using both high-speed camera measurements with 20,000 frames per second and photodiode traces. 
Large-volume volumetric flow experiments and their results: The first of these, investigating a thermal plume at low velocities (up to 0.35 m/s) demonstrates the abilities and requirements to reach volume sizes up to and probably beyond one cubic meter.
