Phantom T4040 High-Speed Camera
4.2 Megapixel BSI Sensor – Unprecedented High-Resolution Ultra-High-Speed Imaging
The Phantom T4040 is a flagship model in the Phantom T-Series high-speed cameras, featuring a brand-new custom 4.2 megapixel Back Side Illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor. Designed for applications demanding both high resolution and extreme frame rates, it delivers up to 9,350 fps at full resolution, making it ideal for scientific research, materials testing, fluid visualization, particle image velocimetry (PIV), digital image correlation (DIC), biomechanics, micro-scale high-speed imaging, and industrial inspection.
With its compact and lightweight body (approximately 4.3 kg / 9.4 lbs), the T4040 offers premium T-Series workflow features while maintaining excellent portability for laboratory and field deployment. The BSI sensor significantly enhances light sensitivity, enabling clear, low-noise images even at the highest frame rates.
Key Features
