High-speed cameras capture movement at extreme velocities, recording images with exposures of below .001 second and frame rates of thousands of frames per second. To provide perspective on the magnitude of their precision, film is projected at 24 frames per second and a television at 25 frames per second. High-speed cameras accomplish their precision by running film over a rotating mirror or prism rather than a shutter, eliminating the process of stopping and starting film. Industries that rely on high-speed imaging include the medical, manufacturing, aerospace, defense and R&D fields.
