Hi frame-rate camera
he FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K camera combines unique CMOS image sensor technologies with extensive high-speed digital imaging expertise, making it versatile for a wide range of applications. It offers 12-bit image recording at rates of up to 1,250 frames per second (fps). Key features of the FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K include:
- An internal mechanical shutter for remote system calibration
- A high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface for camera control and fast image downloads
- Memory segmentation that enables recording to one memory partition while downloading from another
- Compatibility with various industry-standard lens formats, including Nikon G-Type, C-mount, and Canon EF lenses Additionally, the camera features a sealed body design that protects sensitive electronics from dust and corrosive particles. It also comes with a Photron Device Control SDK for integrating the camera with custom software, along with libraries for controlling the camera in MATLAB® or LabVIEW environments.

RST MK II
The Ring Shear Tester (aka powder tester, powder flow analyzer, bulk solid flow tester, flow property tester, shear cell tester, simply a ring shear cell) is designed to determine the flow properties of powders and bulk solids (e.g., including powders, flour, cement, clay). The key flow properties of powders and bulk solids measured by the Ring Shear Tester include flowability, compressive strength, internal friction, time consolidation, wall friction, and bulk density.
