Visualizing Combustion Dynamics: NASA And High-Speed Cameras

Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give off heat. Burning a candle, a fire in a fireplace, pressing the gas pedal … these are a few everyday examples of the result of combustion, all of which happen faster than the eye can see. NASA, however, can precisely and accurately study combustion through the use of high-speed cameras.

SPOTLIGHT ON HIGH-SPEED & SCIENTIFIC CAMERAS

Using SWIR For OCT High Resolution Imaging In Tissue

By using the 1.05 µm central wavelength, companies are now developing systems to image deeper through the retina into the blood vessel layer to diagnose eye diseases and monitor treatment.

Using Photron's High-Speed Cameras For Aviation Research

Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) is using high-speed digital cameras in its lab in a variety of testing modes, such as high-impact dynamic events.

Imaging Systems On The Perseverance Mars Rover

NASA's Mars missions have discovered evidence of past water on the planet and are exploring its surface with the Perseverance rover to study its history and potential for human colonization.
 

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Extreme Metrology: Big Science Requires A Nano-Perspective

Extreme metrology applications involve more than enough unknown variables. Instrumentation whose performance has been proven should not be one of them.

Optical Filter Specifications: Cone Half Angle (CHA)

Cone half angle (CHA) measures the degree of convergence or divergence in an incident beam. A CHA of 0˚ indicates collimated light, while larger angles indicate more pronounced convergence/divergence.
