Professor Yukio Takehara of the Faculty of Science and Technology of Kinki University, in collaboration with Ritsumeikan University and Astro Design Co., Ltd., has developed an ultra-high-speed, high-sensitivity camera that can continuously shoot 1 images with a time resolution of 10 million images / second (10 nanoseconds). ..It was the first camera in the world to use an image sensor and succeeded in continuous shooting of light flight.This development was supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency's "Research Achievement Optimal Deployment Support Program (A-STEP) Practical Use Challenge Type".
Kinki University developed a video camera of 3 images / second in 1991 and a video camera of 4,500 million images / second in 13, and the world of video camera shooting speed. I've broken the record.Many scientists were interested in shooting the flight of light, and although there were shooting examples using special technology, there were no examples of continuous shooting with a camera using an image sensor.
The camera developed this time achieves the high sensitivity required for ultra-high-speed shooting by backside illumination and the high spatial resolution of 60 pixels for an ultra-high-speed camera.We succeeded in shooting 10 continuous shots of flying light at a shooting speed of XNUMX million shots / sec.
Cameras using image sensors are much more convenient than other imaging technologies, and the development of science and technology such as distance sensors for autonomous driving and cell observation technology using fluorescence attenuation characteristics. Is expected to contribute to.
