The High-Speed Intensified Camera Attachment (HiCATT) from Lambert Instruments is an advanced image intensifier engineered for seamless integration with all high- and ultrahigh-speed cameras, making it a vital tool for imaging in demanding and low-light environments. Capable of operating at rates of up to 10 MHz, the HiCATT enables the capture of fast-moving phenomena with exceptional clarity, from the UV to the NIR, even under challenging lighting conditions where conventional imaging systems struggle.
HiCATT Couples to All High-Speed Cameras, Without Special Couplings or Customizations
The HiCATT high-speed intensifier is designed for seamless integration with all major brand-name high-speed cameras, including Shimadzu, Phantom, Photron, iX Cameras, etc. This is accomplished by the high-quality, robust, and flexible lens coupling on the output. The adaptability of the lens output adjustment results in a coupling without any modifications to the camera. It can be used as is. Whether you’re using a camera equipped with an F-Mount or another compatible configuration, integrating the HiCATT intensifier is a straightforward process.
Attaching the HiCATT to your F-Mount camera is effortless and intuitive.
One of the standout features of the HiCATT high-speed intensifier is its remarkable ability to effortlessly adapt its output focus to any camera and imaging system. This adaptability ensures that the HiCATT delivers sharp, high-quality images across a range of configurations.
To fine-tune the focus, just start by using a uniform, low-level illumination source—such as a business card under dim light conditions—as a test subject. Under these conditions, you’ll notice the fine structure inherent in the anode screen of the intensifier (see figure below). This feature provides a visual cue for precise adjustments, enabling users to identify and resolve any focus discrepancies. If the output image appears out of focus, you can easily adjust the focus position using the built-in focusing mechanism. This process not only enhances image sharpness but also ensures that the intensifier’s output is perfectly matched to the optical requirements of the connected camera or imaging system. With this feature, the HiCATT achieves optimal performance with any camera.
