About
The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Photon Lines Limited for the supply of a high-speed MWIR camera system for the Department of Civil Engineering's blast and ballistic effects research at the Buxton labs.
The camera, valued at AUD 116,000, will be housed on the same optical axis as an ultra-high speed video (UHSV) camera to capture a single high-resolution frame per test, with UHSV footage providing context.
The system requires the highest possible frame rates and low integration time for precise synchronisation with UHSV cameras exceeding 1 million frames per second and other optical diagnostics.
