A General Survey of High-Speed Photographic Techniques
Still and cine cameras are classified according to speed and the systems particular to high-speed photography are outlined. Still systems include flash photography, rapid capping shutters, Faraday, Kerr-cell and image-tube shutters. Described are cine methods which use rotating-prism, rotating-mirror, image-dissection, image-tube and multiple single-shot cameras. Streak (or smear) cameras (rotating-mirror and image-tube) are also considered. Figure of merit comparisons, based on speed and information content, are made and physical limitations discussed.
