Jens, it depends on what you need to do wrt to sensitivity and
resolution, if you can get away with video (cooled or otherwise) its
easy, you use two channels of the three on any good video capture card
and sync the two cameras.  For example we use a pair of hamamatsu ICCDs
a Flashbus board and Metamorph to capture pairs of images for measuring
3D motion at video rates

Hi all,

What commercial software solutions are around to control and synchronise
two cameras for simultanous acquisitions?

Is there anybody out there using a Yokogawa spinning disc system with
two cameras and would want to share experiences?

Thank you, Jens
