High resolution lenses for machine vision — standard and custom lens design

High Speed Imaging

High Resolution Lenses for machine vision, instrumentation, inspection and vibration-sensitive applications. Standard and custom hi-res lens assemblies.

Hi-speed imaging is the process of taking pictures of very fast phenomena with a camera capable of capturing at least 128 frames per second. Hi-speed imaging can also be achieved using video. Hi-speed imaging has evolved over the years and we are able to take a look at things in ways we never thought possible.

We have seen these cameras used in anything from sports to nature and it’s remarkable to see these things in super slow motion. We get a prospective of seeing every minute movement that the human eye just can’t detect. With this technology we are able to get a whole new look at things and we have found that it has given us an amazing tool for research.

Professional sports are using high speed imaging to research things such as injuries. Since we are able to slow movements down with incredible precision and definition it’s possible to see what’s actually happening to the human body as an injury occurs. One of the main proponents of using hi-speed imaging in sports is for concussion research in College football and the NFL. With these images we are able to analyze a concussion, how it affects the player, and how we can better equip these athletes in the future.

One of the favorite uses for hi-speed imaging is in nature. Researchers all over the world are constantly trying to better understand all aspects of nature and the creatures that live there. With hi-speed imaging we are able to see things in nature that we would otherwise never notice with the human eye. Some creatures move so quickly it’s very difficult for us to see how they do it. Hi-speed imaging has made it possible to not only see these incredible movements but also gives us a better understanding of the world around us.

Hi-speed imaging is a very unique form of imaging and has numerous applications. Universe Kogaku has the standard or custom CCTV lenses for hi-speed imaging. Universe Optics has all the best quality lenses for industrial, medical, high-tech, and electronic applications including hi-speed imaging.
