International Congress on High Speed Photography and Photonics
held in Santa Fe, NM from Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 1996.   This paper
describes the contents of a unique, introductory, applications
oriented, high speed photography course offered to Imaging and
Photographic Technology majors at the Rochester Institute of
Technology. The course covers the theory and practice of
photographic systems designed to permit analysis of events of
very short duration. Included are operational characteristics of
intermittent and rotating prism cameras, rotating mirror and
drum cameras, synchronization systems and timing controls and
high speed flash and stroboscopic systems, and high speed video
recording. Students gain basic experience not only in the use of
fundamental equipment but also in proper planning, set
