TY - JOUR AU - Clements, R M AB - The shutter mechanism and film holder from an inexpensive Polaroid camera can be arranged around a rotating mirror to give high-speed, high-resolution pictures of self-illuminating events. Moreover, the shutter, which closes after one scan, prevents multiple exposure and thus enables one to study events which continue to emit light after the period of interest. By use of a simple Variac to control the speed of a high-speed motor, the time resolution on the film can be easily changed from 1 ps mm-l to 0.3 ms "-1. For scan speeds slower than this, it is advantageous to replace the high-speed motor with a low speed one.
