High-speed imaging
High-speed imaging is in popular demand for a broad range of scientific applications, including fluid physics, and bubble and droplet dynamics. It allows for a detailed visualization of the event under study by acquiring a series of images captured at high temporal and spatial resolution. The challenge here is the combined microscopic length scales and ultrashort time scales associated with the mechanisms governing fluid flows. We utilize ultra high-speed imaging at frame rates exceeding 10 million frames per second (fps) using novel ultrafast sensor technologies and ultrashort nanoseconds flash illumination techniques. The Brandaris 128 ultra high-speed imaging facility combines the optical frame of a rotating mirror camera with 128 CCD sensors and can record at a maximum frame rate of 25 Mfps.
