Magnification and Frame Rate in High Speed Imaging

Determining the frame rate needed for a given application is one of the challenges of high-speed imaging. While it is intuitive that the faster an object moves, the faster the frame rate needs to be to capture it with a high speed video camera, that is only part of the equation. In the video above, an airplane, race horses, and a microscopic mite are shown in slow motion. They all traverse… Read More

How to Use High Speed Cameras for Preventive Maintenance to Reduce Downtime

Preventive maintenance (PM) of mechanized production lines often requires visual inspection of moving parts such as motors, gears, belts, pulleys, chains, etc. Some parts may be obstructed from view by other machinery or hidden from view in enclosures or cabinets while the line is in operation. While conducting PM procedures, service personnel may routinely shut down a line, open the cabinets or enclosures, and check mechanical parts for wear. To… Read More
