iStar sCMOS Demo Video: How To Use Solis For Imaging Applications

Abstract

The ns time scale measurement capability of the iStar intensified cameras allows for increasingly complex and novel measurements synchronized with a lab full of other instruments. This video is made to introduce users to many aspects of the Solis software for control of iStar sCMOS cameras focusing on use for imaging applications. A variety of types of acquisition modes and built-in analysis features are demonstrated.

Learning Objectives

• Provide guided demonstrations that users can follow-along in their lab
• Introduce the user to the Solis interface and features
• Show examples of how built-in analysis can be performed in Solis
