The link to this site was in my paper today. I don’t like guns but this is amazing.

Have a look at Thuis site:

> **[Home](https://www.techimaging.com/)**
>
> Our experts are your premier source for custom engineered high-speed imaging, consulting, and rental services to meet all of your application requirements.

Or the sites of high speed camera manufacturers like Photron, if you’re into that stuff:

> **[Photron High Speed Cameras for Slow Motion Analysis, FASTCAM, MINI, Multi](https://photron.com/)**
>
> High speed cameras for slow motion analysis. Materials Testing, Fluid Dynamics, Combustion Studies, Automotive, Aerospace, R&D, Crash Test, welding

I wish this had ben available back when I was doing my bachelor’s thesis on biomechanics – it’d take all day to set up a shot, with LOTS of illumination, then you had to develop the film. Modern digital imaging gives you much higher frame rates and instant gratification. Using a system similar to the above ones, I recently took films of explosives detonating at 750,000 frames per second.
