The Micro-World Observed by Ultra High-Speed Cameras We See What You
This volume is about ultra high-speed cameras, which enable us to see what we normally do not see. These are objects that are moving very fast, or that we just ignore. Ultra high-speed cameras invite us to a wonderland of microseconds. There Alice (the re

Preface
My first encounters with an ultra high-speed camera were two video films, which showed how a balloon is broken, when it is pricked. One movie was taken with 30 fps (frames per second) and the other with 100,000 fps. In the movie of 30 fps we see: a girl has a balloon in her left hand and a needle in her right hand. She pricks the balloon, which immediately disappears from the view. A few moments later her face is distorted and she starts to cry. It was funny to notice (sorry for the girl) the time lag between the rupture of the balloon and her frightened reaction: she was frightened, after everything had finished. So I knew that our reaction time can be measured at about 30 fps, but that the rupture of the balloon cannot be seen with this frame rate. In the second movie with 100,000 fps I saw a series of images that were completely different from my expectation. The balloon was not simply blown away, but its surface was cut into two halves. Each of them moved away from the point of needle impact, thus opening a glimpse into the inside of the balloon. Soon afterwards I obtained more movies showing many other fast phenomena, lik
