High Speed Camera meet Microscope

High-speed cameras open up a world of possibilities in research – especially when paired with microscopes. Breakthroughs in fluid dynamics, cell behavior, and other micro-scale phenomena have been achieved thanks to high-speed camera recordings that allow detailed motion analysis.

AOS is proud to have supplied numerous high-speed cameras to life science and medical research projects, enabling results never seen before. One example: the image shows a drop-forming process captured at 500 frames per second under dim light conditions. The exceptional light sensitivity of AOS cameras ensures clear, detailed imaging, even in challenging lighting environments.

When mounted on a microscope, precise optical alignment is essential. That’s why AOS cameras feature adjustable back focus, enabling crisp, sharp images for both long-term observations and ultra-fast events. Whether your research demands continuous recording for minutes at a time or capturing rapid phenomena in fractions of a second, AOS delivers the perfect camera solution – without requiring major setup changes.

With AOS Imaging Studio, scientists can even capture single reference images for detailed laboratory analysis. AOS high-speed cameras: where precision meets innovation.  Get in touch with AOS — your partner in high-speed vision.

In today’s world of miniaturization, capturing tiny processes in perfect detail is more important than ever. Sometimes, a microscope isn’t the right tool for the job. That’s where a long-distance macro setup comes in – a specialized combination of lenses and extension tubes that allows impressive close-up recordings without being right on top of the subject.

AOS has delivered high-speed camera solutions to the Swiss watchmaking industry paired with long-distance macros. The goal? To inspect and optimize the intricate mechanical movements inside world-famous Swiss timepieces. These recordings reveal the precision of the clockwork design, validate engineering concepts, and provide critical insights for further refinements.

Because long-distance macros often start with a narrow aperture (around f/16), only highly light-sensitive high-speed cameras can deliver bright, sharp footage suitable for detailed analysis. AOS cameras excel here, producing clear recordings even in low-light conditions – ensuring that no detail is lost.

Once captured, the footage is analyzed with specialized software to evaluate the mechanical behavior and quality of the movement.
AOS high-speed cameras with long-distance macros – the perfect solution when every detail counts.

Have you ever admired the beauty of mechanical clockwork through the lens of a high-speed camera? These marvels of precision engineering are not only fascinating to watch in macro settings, but also provide valuable insights when analyzed in detail.

Watchmakers and researchers use AOS high-speed camera technology to observe and analyze clockworks for product development and quality control. A typical application involves recording the date-change mechanism in mechanical watches. By mounting a high-speed camera on a long-distance macro or an industrial-grade microscope, the intricate transition of the date display can be captured in high detail.

These recordings reveal the precise motion of the mechanism, including any potential mechanical jitter or misalignment during the date change. The compact AOS camera, with its C-Mount design, fits seamlessly onto a microscope, ensuring minimal setup time and maximum efficiency.

The results are invaluable: high-speed imaging not only confirms the quality of the mechanism but also highlights areas where improvements may be needed. It’s a perfect example of how advanced imaging technology supports traditional craftsmanship in achieving excellence.
