Newsletter September 2011 Spring is here – only a few more months to reach our goals for the year 2011.
At MIT we have been busy with a few innovations and updates to our website – which went live in early August.
Technical Publications relating to all aspects of standards, light and colour measurement, the working group tasks and results published by the Technical Committees of the CIE are available from the webshop of the CIE, called Techstreet. Prices are discounted for members. Browse through the list by logging on to: http://www.techstreet.com/ciegate.tmpl For information on the CIE, activities and calender follow this link:
The link is fixed now leading you to the pages showing the GOLDILUX range of instruments and listing the specifications. Goldilux lightmeter instruments were developed in South Africa based on the Absolute Radiometer pioneered in the country to realize a new definition of light adopted by the CIE in 1989. MIT is manufacturing the instruments which come with a SANAS accredited calibration certificate. These lightmeters are very stable and robust, so they are suitable for the laboratory environment, as well as on the shop floor or in a mine (intrinsically safe). They also have a 1 year factory warranty. Instruments are sold through approved distributors locally, but are also exported worldwide. Please click on the distributor list under Home Page Tab on the website to get an updated list of approved distributors. We at MIT are also available to assist with specialized technical measurement questions. Andor Technology – MIT agency since 1998.
Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland and operating at the high-value end of the global scientific digital camera market. Andor Technology has pioneered the techniques which allows scientist around the world to measure light down to 1 photon and capture events occurring with 1 billionth of a second. To name but a few of the scientific fields where such leading edge camera technology has been successfully applied: Drug discovery, toxicology analysis, medical diagnosis, food quality testing and solar energy research. The principal business of Andor is the development and manufacture of high performance digital cameras used in scientific research and industrial communities. The company was set up in 1989 starting from Queen’s University in Belfast and now employs 200 people in 15 offices worldwide supplying to 55 different countries.

VISION Research
Measuring Instruments Technology is glad to announce that we will again be able to demonstrate a Phantom v711 high speed camera in late October. The v711 is one of the fastest high speed cameras available, with a frame rate of 7500fps on full sensor. Areas of application – ballistics, electrical arcing, high speed processing lines, scientific observations etc. Should you wish to see the camera, or trial it in your application, please let us know so that we can arrange a time. Vision Research Raises the Bar in the High-Speed Imaging Industry
With the Introduction of Two New Phantom® v-Series Cameras New Phantom v1610 Is 60 Percent Faster than Any Other Digital High-Speed Camera in Its Class Vision Research, a leading manufacturer of digital high-speed imaging systems, unveils two additions to the company’s Phantom® v-Series line of digital high-speed cameras with the introduction of the Phantom v1210 and v1610. These top-of-their-class cameras are the world’s fastest 1 megapixel digital highspeed cameras. They feature high definition and widescreen 1280 x 800 CMOS sensors. The Phantom v1610 is 60 percent faster than any other camera on the market, with the ability to acquire more than 16,000 frames-per-second (fps) at full resolution and up to 1,000,000 fps at reduced resolution. Both cameras are based on Vision Research proprietary sensors offering not only high speeds, but larger 28-micron pixels that allow for superior sensitivity when shooting in low light, which is often a problem with high-speed imaging. The v-Series additions make possible image capture at more than 12,000 fps (12 gigapixels/second) in full resolution when utilizing the v1210, and more than 16,000 fps (16 gigapixels/second) when the v1610 is called into action. If higher speeds are needed, reduced resolution images are available up to 650,000 fps or up to 1,000,000 fps when the FAST option is used. The v1210 can be configured with 12GB, 24GB, or 48GB of memory, and the v1610, with 24GB, 48GB, or 96GB of memory. That memory can be segmented into as many as 63 partitions and allows continuous shooting of back-to-back shots without the need for constant downloading. The cameras offer 12-bit pixel depth standard. The cameras come with built-in on-camera controls (OCC), allowing most camera settings to be set or changed with the turn of a knob – eliminating the need for connection to a PC or laptop for camera control.
