The Xenon Flashlamp produces intense pulses of radiant energy covering the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS) and near infrared (NIR). When coupled to a CCD/CID camera system, the strobe "freezes motion" which eliminates blur and enhances image quality. Several variations of the X-Strobe Series are available; each optimized for maximum light output at a specific flash rate. External signal inputs allow you to further customize the stroboscope to your unique application.
Features
- High intensity bright white light
- Small overall size
- Long Life Flash lamp
- Improved flash stability
- Universal AC input (100-240 VAC)

Notes: All values are nominal; specifications subject to change without notice.
- Maximum flash rate at 600 Vdc; the numbers in parenthesis represent the range of flash rates at adjusted lamp voltage (400 - 600 Vdc). Flash rate = (E = ½ CV2).
- Energy at 400-600 Vdc
- Approximate values measured at 1/3 peak of light pulse.
- Approximate light output at 600 VDC into 0.9" (23 mm) diameter fiber optic light guide. Numerical aperture 0.5
- Approximate light output at 600 VDC into 0.5" (13 mm) fiber optic light guide.
- Approximate light output at 600 VDC into 0.27" (7 mm) fiber optic light guide.
- Maintaining >50% light output.
- Increasing lamp voltage will decrease lamp service life.
- Delay between flash command and light output is 8 µsec typical.
- Optional fiber optic nosepieces: Fostec 0.72" ID (MVS-23), Volpi 0.59" ID (MVS-24), or Dolan Jenner 1.0" ID (MVS-25).
