It also means that faster frame rates, shorter shutter speeds and greater depths of field are provided under equivalent lighting conditions. Higher light sensitivity means that less additional lighting is required to capture a high-speed event. All three Mini AX models offer a minimum exposure duration of 1s as standard with recording memory options up to 32GB providing extended recording times. The FASTCAM Mini AX100 high speed camera provides 4,000 fps at full resolution. Standard operational features of the FASTCAM Mini UX include a Gigabit Ethernet Interface for reliable system control with high-speed data transfer to PC, and the ability to remotely switch off cooling fans to eliminate vibrations when recording at high magnifications. Three performance level models Mini AX50, AX100 and AX200 deliver 1-megapixel image resolution (1024 x 1024 pixels) at frame rates up to 2,000fps, 4,000fps and 6,400fps respectively. This small and rugged camera design makes the FASTCAM Mini UX ideally suited to on-board and off-board automotive safety testing and many other applications where a compact size and compatibility with standard optical systems is required. The FASTCAM Mini UX features a rugged design suitable for operation in high shock and vibration environments and a compact camera body (120mm x 120mm x 93mm) weighing just 1.5kg.

At maximum image resolution the image sensor is fully compatible with readily available 1-inch C-mount lenses offering a wide choice of small, lightweight, rugged and high aperture objective lenses.

Using innovative proprietary CMOS image sensor technology, the FASTCAM Mini UX achieves high light sensitivity from a small image sensor (10μm pixel pitch) through the utilization of microlenses to increase effective Fill Factor.
