As high-speed imaging systems have evolved over time, customers have begged for more speed and higher resolution. It is a real challenge to develop a system that offers both of these qualities. This is a difficult design task, and other critical parameters such as light sensitivity further complicate the issue of developing a fast, truly high resolution imaging system that is compact, user-friendly, and affordable.

One of the latest Vision Research®  responses to this speed/resolution challenge is our Phantom® v9.1. This camera supplies high speed recording along with resolution and image quality that would have been considered impossible to achieve just a short time ago.

If you have been looking for film quality images with speeds fast enough to meet you're most demanding requirements, take a serious look at the Phantom v9.1.
