An optical system is described that produces multiple images on a streak camera slit plane. The apparatus is made up of several identical optical objectives. Each objective, consisting of a pair of collimating lenses and a pair of Dove prisms, serves to form an image that can be arbitrarily positioned and oriented at the camera slit plane. The instrument was designed primarily to record the progress of a nonplanar shock wave or detonation wave along several nonparallel paths. When used with suitable short‐duration object illumination, it is also capable of recording framing pictures of a dynamic event. Two applications of the instrument are described.
