Cordin Scientific High Speed Framing Cameras
The pinnacle of high speed imaging
For over sixty years, Cordin has been at the pinnacle of high speed imaging and offers the fastest and highest quality scientific imaging systems in the world with the broadest product line of any high speed imaging provider.
Cordin Scientific Imaging cameras provide high speed imaging solutions for situation that meet the following criteria:
- The event is visually observable and can be detected or triggered
- The event dynamics are in the sub-millisecond or sub-microsecond time domain
- The highest possible speed and resolution are required
- A record length of some hundred or fewer frames is adequate

Cordin Rotating Mirror Framing Cameras relay an image through a complex optical system centred around a rotating mirror, to multiple independent CCD camera modules. They capture the highest quality, highest resolution images at the fastest speeds compared to any other technology available:
- Framing rate up to 25 million fps
- Number of frames from 20 to 128
- Up to 29 Mpix Resolution
- 12-14 bit dynamic range
- Monochrome and colour modes
- Very low image noise
- Post trigger capacity
- Moderate sensitivity
- Large physical size
- Very high complexity
- Electric or gas turbine mirror drive
Model 560 : 2 Mpix resolution, 4 million fps maximum speed, 20, 40, or 78 frame capture modes, continuous access triggering
Model 580 : 8 Mpix resolution, 4 million fps maximum speed, 20, 40, or 78 frame capture modes, continuous access triggering
Model 521 : 29 Mpix resolution, 2.5 million fps maximum speed, 24 frame capture, synchronous triggering
Model 510 : 0.5 Mpix resolution, 25 million fps maximum speed, 128 frame capture, synchronous triggering

Cordin Gated Intensified Cameras relay an image through beam splitters to Micro-Channel Plate (MCP) intensifiers. These devices convert the incident photons of the image to an array of electrons, which are amplified and shuttered, and then directed to a phosphor. The resulting image is then captured on a CCD. The shuttering of the channels is done in a rapid sequence, capturing a series of images at very fast rates. They have very high sensitivity and extremely short exposure and interframe times. They are available with 2, 4, or 8 imaging channels, and can capture one or two images per channel:
- Framing rate up to 200 million fps
- Number of frames from 1 to 16
- Up to 4 Mpix resolution
- 4-8 bit dynamic range
- Monochrome imaging
- Moderate image noise
- Very high sensitivity
- Moderate physical size
- High complexity
Model 222 : 8 or 16 images, 4 Mpix resolution, minimum exposure time of 2.5 ns, maximum speed of 200 million fps
