Title: Need a fast camera??
Post by: Mugwump on October 01, 2015, 06:47:14 AM
try this one....
A remarkable camera at MIT uses a technique called "Femto-Photography" that captures a trillion frames per second. Using this method, the camera can freeze light in motion and even see around corners. Host David Pogue went to the MIT Media Lab to see this rapid-fire camera at work.

Very Cool.

I used a laser with femto-second bursts in two photon confocal microscopy at Caltech (MIT's competition).

I saw an early version of something like this (not nearly as fast)...over at JPL years ago....

There is also some trick developed recently that can be used to slow down light to a complete stop.
