"In an Instant" High Speed Video

Check out this great video we made this morning. We recently purchased a high speed camera as part of our IMLS grant. Our goal is the use this camera to show the world in a different way. Science is an observational process and this camera lets us observe through a new set of CCD eyes.

Let us know what you think of the video and feel free to send us suggestions about what we can film next. If we use your suggestion we will post it on our video page along with your name.

Don't just be a visitor to the site or the science center; become an active part of it.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

That is AWESOME. Great use of the camera.

I thought it was great to see the glass "bounce" on the surface.

I like the idea of shattering an egg.

What about lighting a match? Or popping a balloon?

Matthew we will see if we can do one of the videos you suggested. Keep an eye out for it on our website.

Bill Watson would like us to film a match lighting. That is a great suggestion. We will see what we can do. Keep an eye out for it.
