The AxioCam HS high speed digital camera records more than 50 images per second in the basic resolution mode (660 × 494 pixels, 60 images) and up to 140 images per second in (5 × 5, 200 images) binning mode. This allows high precise, time sensitive examinations of fast processes in living objects in neurobiology, developmental biology, virology and zoology. With short exposure times, the high rate of image sequence is guaranteed because exposure and sensor reading processes can overlap. Software enables direct storage of the image data on the hard drive in complete12-bit quality without any loss from compression, avoiding compression artifacts. This means that the maximum recording time would only be limited by the hard drive capacity. With appropriately equipped systems, the AxioCam HS can record image sequences as digital films ("movies") in scientific image quality. Further technical accessories for fast recording of multidimensional images are in development.
