NEXUS image capture Module and cameras

Recording the temperature is only half the story. See how your sample evolves with changing environment such as temperature, humidity or vacuum.

Many materials change colour, shape and size under different conditions. For example, thermotropic liquid crystals undergo phase transitions as the temperature is changed and many materials change colour as they oxidise at higher temperatures. By acquiring images as well as recording the sensor parameters, visual changes such as colour can be analysed, the size and shape of particles can be measured, and all these changes correlated to temperature. 

NEXUS Image Capture Systems make it easy to automatically capture images at specified points during an experiment. With functionality to zoom and pan video, rewind and review while recording, or to compare images from different data runs, NEXUS Image Capture Systems have extensive features.

Input triggers are stored and marked on the chart for easy synchronisation with other equipment. Each image is stamped with the current temperature so offline analysis is straight forward. 

We have tested many different cameras and offer a wide range of options to meet the demands of most applications.
