A Cranz-Schardin high-speed camera with a speed of one million frames per second has been successfully developed. LEDs as light sources, the innovative design of an efficient light-gathering system, and microprocessor control of synchronization are among other features of this camera. Using geometric optics, the design principle for the Cranz-Schardin camera is systematically addressed in the literature for the first time. An MC68000 microprocessor with a high speed A/D converter is applied for the synchronization control. With the WR-RD mode of ADC0820 A/D converter, 1.5... |
