Time resolved observation of highly transient events by a novel digital high speed camera

The adequate investigation of highly transient events is a formidable challenge in various scientific areas, one of the largest obstacles being the lack of adequate equipment to visually capture such events. This is expected to change dramatically with the advent of a novel digital high-speed camera, which can take up to one million frames per second in unprecedented clarity. This camera would open avenues into so far impossible or difficult to conduct research on highly transient phenomena in various research fields, which include (but are not restricted to) fluid mechanics, plasma physics, combustion, and fracture mechanics. The camera will be instrumental in the development of new technologies in and beyond the mentioned research areas.
