Abstract
Despite improvements in the performance of cameras based on CCD (charge-coupled device) arrays, the rate at which they can capture multiple images is typically limited to around a thousand frames per second. This makes them incapable of imaging any process that occurs over a timescale shorter than a millisecond, such as the firing of neurons in living tissues or the propagation of shockwaves through a solid.
