EE-developed framing camera adds new dimension to LLL's high-speed- photography capability

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4126956

The EE Department has greatly expanded the Laboratory's high-speed- photography capability by developing a very high-speed image-converter-tube (ICT) framing camera. This sequential, multiframe camera system, the first of its kind, can photograph high-explosive events with greater speed, image resolution, and versatility than ever before possible. It is a selectable-optic system using eight ICTs that can be shuttered simultaneously or separated by preset time delays, all with nanosecond accuracy. Another unique feature is the camera's ability to take ''stereo'' pictures (coincident photos from different angles), thus adding depth perception to the film record of the event being investigated.
