High-speed photography and photonic recording

The basic techniques used in high-speed photography (i.e. cine, framing and streak photography) are briefly discussed and the various instrumental arrangements mentioned (i.e. moving film, rotating drum, rotating mirror, image converter, flash, etc.). Recent developments in image converters have led to cameras capable of resolving times of the order of 10-12s, some versions having sensitivity in the soft X-ray region of the spectrum. Electronic tubes incorporating microchannel plates have been used as intensifiers in picosecond streak cameras, and as high-gain shutters for single-frame photography. Holographic methods have been adopted in the design of high-speed camera systems for detecting small movements such as deformation of plates on impact, and vibration studies. Electronic methods are being developed for the handling of the information produced by high-speed cameras, some systems dispensing with the photographic process entirely.
