A high‐speed framing camera designed to investigate problems requiring a time coverage of from 6 to 20 milliseconds has been developed. Sixty pictures at framing rates up to 15 000 frames a second are possible. Unique to this system are the large image size (⅝×1¼ inches or ⅜×1¼ inches, depending on the framing rate required), and the very short exposure times (0.2 microsecond). The short exposure time has made this instrument useful in a number of applications.
