Photooptical Instrumentation at Stanford Research Institute

Zev Pressman

In the broad range of photographic instrumentation used at Stanford Research Institute, emphasis is placed on the proper combination of optics, lighting, photosensitive materials, processing procedures and information retrieval, rather than on camera devices alone. Instances are cited, ranging from high-speed ballistics studies to macroscopic investigations in physiological research. Photographic instruments are used to study a shock wave, a mechanical motion or a bit of living matter through a microscope. Photographic engineers, chemists, photographers, physicists, biologists and others throughout the large organization merge their efforts, providing effective research instrumentation.
