DEBUT FOR WORLD'S FASTEST CAMERA

THE fastest imaging system ever devised has been demonstrated by the researchers reporting in the journal NATURE. THE shutter speed of the camera is half a billionth of a second, and has the ability to capture over 6 million images per second continuously. Its flash bulb is a fast laser pulse dispersed in space and then stretched in time and detected electronically. ALSO the camera works on one detector.

The approach will be instrumental in imaging fast-moving or random events, for example communication between neurons or flowing blood samples in a search for diseased cells......awesome.
