An automatic underwater camera system

Automatic underwater camera system design and performance characteristics for time lapse photography of algae growth and sedimentation

Jirberg, R. J.↗

Time-lapse camera for microscopy

Compact, lightweight camera which advances film frames without use of conventional sprockets and slip clutches obtains time lapse photomicrographs of human cell growth in a zero-G environment over a period of about a month.

An F1 Schmidt satellite camera and the methods of plate measurement and reduction

The f1 Hewitt camera is a field flattened Schmidt system of 60cm aperture. The salient features of this equipment are briefly described. Details of the methods of plate measurement are then given. The plate reduction is carried out in two stages. The plate is first calibrated using the photogrammetric method. The formulae usually quoted have been extended to take account of the large distortion introduced by the field flattening lens. In the second stage, the satellite measurements are reduced to satellite positions corrected for refraction, aberration, and when necessary, phase.

Multispectral image dissector camera system

A sensor system which provides registered high-solution multispectral images from a single sensor with no mechanical moving parts is reported, and the operation of an image dissector camera (IDC) is described. An earth scene 100 nautical miles wide is imaged through a single lens onto a photocathode surface containing three spectral filters, thereby producing three separate spectral signatures on the photocathode surface. An electron image is formed, accelerated, focused, and electromagnetically, deflected across an image plane which contains three sampling apertures, behind which are located three electron multipliers. The IDC system uses electromagnetic deflection for cross-track scanning and spacecraft orbit motion for along-track scanning, thus eliminating the need for a mechanical scanning mirror.
