High Speed Cameras White Papers and Case Studies

  1. Stopping The Spread 3/12/2021

    Researchers are looking to understand the efficiency of face masks as COVID-19 rages on. When you compare N95 respirators to handmade cloth coverings, not all masks are created equal. By evaluating a cough or sneeze using a high-speed imaging technique called Background Oriented Schlieren, it’s possible to study mask performance.

  2. When High-Speed Photography Meets High-Throughput Biochemistry 3/12/2021

    The ability to enhance and engineer new proteins — a potential key to solving human problems related to disease and more — is limited by our understanding of these sophisticated molecules. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is hoping to overcome that with the help of high-throughput experimentation and high-speed photography.

  3. Phantom Cameras Shine In Ballistics And Material Tests For Aerospace 3/12/2021

    This case study explores how the Phantom Ultra high-speed and VEO high-speed cameras were used to record the testing processes for both components. These analytic tools provided crucial information on the design and performance of aerospace devices.

  4. Revealing Their True Colors 3/12/2021

    Dr. Daniel Whisler, a member of the Impact Group at California State Long Beach and his team devised a new method to measure the dynamic response of composites in a new, colorful way. Various materials and structures studied include flexible polymer composites. By utilizing high-speed cameras, the traditional measurement process gets an interesting spin. 

  5. Shedding Light On The Dark Ocean Depths 3/12/2021
