Physical and Life Science

Life and physical science researchers rely heavily on high-speed camera systems for imaging numerous motion analysis experiments. From zebra fish imaging to fuel spray analysis and much more, Redlake’s latest MotionPro X and MotionScope camera systems are setting a revolutionary standard in these fields around the world.

Life Science
Whether your application involves establishing a relationship between behavioral observations and neurological stimuli in living things or understanding human biomechanics and animal locomotion, MotionPro and MotionScope imaging systems deliver a range of high-tech features suited specifically to your research requirements.

For instance, researchers using a MotionPro X or MotionScope system to image zebra fish movements can benefit from the high speed and superior resolution capabilities of these designs, which can aid in the understanding of:

• Days to maturity of the fish
• Growth rate of individual neurons within the fish
• Tail/body movements

These advanced camera systems can also be used simultaneously for imaging multiple body parts in the same time frame.

The rapid frame rates of the MotionPro and MotionScope cameras can aid researchers in understanding animal locomotion and feeding kinematics, which are integral to ecological and evolutionary studies. These novel systems are also ideal for analyzing human biomechanics, such as the study of skeletons and muscles.

Physical Science
Redlake’s MotionPro X and MotionScope systems are frequently used in physical science applications in laboratories around the globe. These applications can include high-speed fluid flows around objects to better understand and improve the aerodynamics of automobiles and jet engines, as well as digital particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) systems utilized in high repetition lasers and cameras for producing velocity vector maps. International researchers are also utilizing these high-tech Redlake systems in fuel spray analysis applications for improving engine combustion kinetics and combustion analysis applications, such as laser-induced fluorescence combustion and PLIF instrumentation.
