Debut for world's fastest camera
The fastest imaging system ever devised has been demonstrated by researchers reporting in the journal Nature.Their camera's "shutter speed" is just a half a billionth of a second, and it can capture over six million images in a second continuously.
Its "flashbulb" is a fast laser pulse dispersed in space and then stretched in time and detected electronically.
The technique hinges on an ordered spreading of the colours in laser light

Fastest Camera Ever Built Uses Lasers
Scientists have made the fastest camera ever. It can take 6.1 million pictures in a single second, at a shutter speed of 440 trillionths of a second. Light itself moves just a fraction of a centimeter in that time.The camera works by illuminating objects with a laser that emits a different infrared frequency for every single pixel, allowing them to custom-amplify a signal that would otherwise be too dim to see.

Speedy snapshots captured using laser light.
The new camera can take snaps every 163 nanoseconds.
The team captured pictures of tiny beads moving through microfluidic channels.
