High Speed Scientific Imaging

Wayne Fontanazza

Hadland Imaging

Hadland Imaging is the North American distributor of the Shimadzu Hyper Vision HPV-X2 ultra high speed video camera (up to 10 million frames per second) , AG-X Universal and HITS High-Speed Impact Test Machines.

Exciting advances in camera design are now allowing researchers to image materials’ behavior at extremely high acquisition rates. These advanced cameras are enabling increased understanding of materials behavior under impact conditions. Understanding the behavior of materials under impact conditions is critical to developing safe, reliable designs for many demanding applications including protective armor, automotive and aerospace materials, and sports equipment.  The presentation will show several unique, high-speed (ultra slow motion) movies illustrating the amazing imaging capabilities of the Shimadzu Hyper Vision HPV-X2 camera.
