Specialised Imaging has produced a presentation that delivers an informative and unbiased review of the historical development of ultra high-speed imaging technology.
The first practical application of high-speed imaging was Eadweard Muybridge’s 1878 photographic investigation into whether a horses' feet were actually all off the ground at once during a gallop. The first photograph of a supersonic flying bullet was taken by the Austrian physicist Peter Salcher in 1886, a technique that was later used by Ernst Mach in his studies of supersonic motion. German weapons scientists later applied these high speed imaging...
