Camera is faster and more accurate


A team comprised of engineers from the University of UCLA (California) made the camera faster and more accurate history, which uses technology called STEAM (Serial Encoded Amplified Microscopy). The number of pictures you can take is 6.1 million frames per second with a shutter speed of 1 / 440 trillion seconds.

Camera is known as STEAM illuminates the object with an infrared laser that emits different wavelengths for each pixel captured. The camera sensor electronically amplifies the original signal and produces an equivalent length until the image is visible. Amplified because the images pixel by pixel can capture microscopic images as well as ultrafast events which makes it useful in medical and biological research.

The camera does not need light to high density is not heated and does not make any noise. Gouda explained that the camera produces images of 3000 pixels and it is hoped that in future they can take pictures of many more megapixels.
