Аннотация:A high-speed photographic camera in which a concept of Cranz-Schardin has been embodied and which has been manufactured on the basis of present requirements upon technique of recording fast events is described in this paper. The camera operates in a convergent ray beam and is intended for recording non-self-luminous processes, that is, transparent optical nonuniformities that arise in a gaseous medium being disturbed by shock waves or compressional waves from moving objects or explosions of charges of different origin as well as by shock waves that accompany electric and laser breakdown. A framing rate for this camera is defined by lighting pulse duration and lies in the range of 104 to 5 X 106 frames/s. A process is recorded on a 35 mm film. The number of frames is 6. A frame size is 15 mm X 24 mm.
