Wide wavelength range: 200 nm to 850 nm
Ultra-high sensitivity imaging
 Dedicated real-time readout system

The Hamamatsu C4187 is a framing streak camera specially designed for the observation and analysis of ultra-fast optical phenomena. The interchangeable plug-in units give easy access to two types of imaging operations: Framing and Streak. In framing mode, the C4187 performs continuous imaging up to 8 frames at a framing rate up to 3 million frames/sec. and a minimum exposure time of 50 ns. In addition, in streak mode, the C4187 measures ultra-fast optical phenomena of 10 ps temporal resolution and provides time, light intensity, and position (or wavelength) information simultaneously. Employing a designed ultra-fast imaging tube, the C4187 makes it possible to observe and analyze ultra-fast optical phenomena at low light levels previously impossible.

The C4187 can be further enhanced by use of a real-time readout system, which is composed of a high-sensitivity video camera, a data analyzer and other peripheral equipment which can analyze image data of optical phenomena in real-time.
