The FireFLY500-S is our most versitile, compact laser that has been designed for high speed back and front illumination applications in mind.
The flexible nature of the design means it can be coupled with any monochrome camera making it a very versatile and easy to use short-pulsed laser light source for illuminating diverse high-speed imaging applications.
A diverse range of optional acessories can be purchased with the laser, enabling the user to tailor the illumination with the application requirements ranging from general high-speed imaging to DIC, Schlieren imaging, bright events, NDT testing, fluid mechanics and more.
The lasers flexibility enables it to be easily integrated into the VisiSize particle / droplet sizing configuration to provide a fully integrated high-speed sizing system, providing insight into short transient events.
The laser can be triggered externally from a camera and will sync with high-speed cameras with ease. It also has an internal oscillator that will run up to the model’s maximum frequency to allow the laser to act as the master clock.
