HTTP:: New Camera Records Million Frames Per Second
--------
High-speed cameras, used in Hollywood to create breathtaking, special effects, are nothing compared with the ones used in laboratories for imaging rapid interactions between things so small that thousands of them would fit within the width of a human hair. But the number-one prize goes to the Megaframe project, which has recently devised the world's first million-frame-per-second, 1024-pixel, photon-resolution video camera. The instrument opens up new research possibilities in the fields of medicine and biology, as experts will be able to observe fast interactions at the small scale live, PhysOrg reports. In addition to implementing a host of new technologies in a single device, the Megaframe project has also pushed the CMOS technology â€" the sensors used to capture light bouncing off objects â€" to its boundaries, in terms of sophistication and miniaturization. The coordinator of the EU-funded Megaframe project, Edoardo Charbon, says that, “We need this sort of detail!
because biomedical scientists are studying processes at the intra-cellular and molecular levels.” Because the new, ultra-high-speed camera can detect a single photon about one million times per second, it can significantly push back the boundaries that limit medical investigations today, which are made futile by the fa...
