PCE High-speed camera PCE-HSC 8960

The high-speed camera sets standards in the world of high-resolution slow-motion recordings. Equipped with a modern 5 megapixel CMOS sensor, this model delivers razor-sharp images with a high level of detail. The ability to record events at extremely high frame rates makes it possible to capture details and phenomena that are invisible to the naked eye or normal cameras.

With an impressive recording speed of up to 8960 frames per second (FPS), the high-speed camera enables the investigation of processes that remain invisible to the naked eye. The integrated USB 3.0 interface ensures fast and reliable data transfer so that recordings can be processed and analysed in real time on a PC. In addition, the trigger input with remote release enables precise control of the recording times, which is particularly important for experiments or precise time-lapse recordings. The robust metal housing protects the high-speed camera from the challenges of daily use and guarantees a long service life even under the most demanding conditions. The included professional PC software offers a comprehensive range of tools for image editing, analysing and managing your recordings.

Whether conducting scientific experiments, monitoring industrial processes or creating stunning slow-motion footage for film projects, this high-speed camera offers the performance and flexibility required to realise visions with precision.
