Lenses and optics for high-speed imaging

Aperture

The wider the lens opening, the more light per frame; the depth of field decreases, so plan the focus.

Field of view

Use the lens calculator with the sensor size, the distance and the subject to choose the focal length.

Macro and microscopy

Insects, droplets and electronic components call for macro lenses or coupling to a microscope.

Long distance

Proving grounds, mining and aerospace use long-distance lenses.

Mounts

Each Phantom model has mount options; check the datasheet.
