Dissecting Time – being able to slowly and carefully go through events that happen in the blink of an eye, or even less.
Our friends at Specialised Imaging have published a new article on the development of the science and techniques which can help us understand what happens in extremely quick events.
Dissecting TimeA Review of the Development of Ultra High-Speed Imaging Techniques |
|
Ever since the invention of photographic materials, film makers, engineers and scientists have sought to capture and understand the behaviour of objects which move faster than the eye can see. |
Specialised Imaging has released an article which describes the innovative methods used to capture increasingly faster events. The article introduces techniques such as intermittent motion, rotating prism/mirror and slit designs for film cameras, continues through to high-speed VHS / digital video cameras and on to the use of intensifiers for ultra high-speed framing and streak imaging techniques. All of which have led to where we are at now – with solutions like Specialised Imaging’s SIM cameras, which capture up to one billion frames per second while simultaneously allowing streak image recording using the same objective lens.
