FEATURES
Full steam ahead with the fastest camera in the world Some biological events happen so quickly that ordinary cameras simply miss those crucial shots – of neurons firing, proteins moving and lasers performing surgery, just to name a few.Shimadzu Corp.’s HPV-1 is perhaps the fastest commercially available CCD camera in the world, capturing images at a rate of 1 million frames per second. However, it relies on high-power illumination to achieve...

EDITORIAL
Anticipating the 2009 Prism Awards By the time most of you read this, Photonics Media and SPIE will be in the midst of planning the 2009 Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation – the second year of what we consider to be the industry’s most prestigious awards for advances in photonics products and technology. As they were last year, the 2009 awards will be presented during SPIE’s Photonics West, only this time the ceremony will...
POST SCRIPTS
Catching and releasing the light The Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) is a nocturnal animal that spends its days buried in the sand, away from the gaze of diurnal predators. At night, the animal leaves its cozy resting place to search for food, but it still must avoid any creatures that are looking for their own meal. The squid is barely an inch long, not counting its limbs – but with a nickname like bobtail, there...
