Centrifuge Camera

The primary goal is to observe physical changes, phase separations, sedimentations, or mechanical deformations as they happen, without stopping the centrifuge.

At 10,000 RPM, a sample rotates 167 times per second. A raw video stream shows a blurry, rotating streak. The centrifuge camera’s firmware must: The primary goal is to observe physical changes,

Weight is the enemy of the centrifuge. Every gram added to the camera must be counter-balanced precisely, or the machine will wobble itself to destruction. Modern centrifuge cameras often utilize stripped-down circuit boards and tiny, high-resolution sensors (like those found in smartphones or action cams) mounted on custom, aerodynamic chassis. or mechanical deformations as they happen
