Using high-speed cameras inside centrifuges, researchers are uncovering new behaviors in fluid dynamics and separating mixtures.
This refers to a specific camera movement technique where a camera is mounted on a spinning arm (rig) to orbit a subject at high speeds. This has recently gained popularity in commercial videography. centrifuge camera
: The camera must be mechanically robust to withstand constant G-forces and the inherent "wobble" of high-speed rotation. : The camera must be mechanically robust to
: Instead of relying on a human to spot when a sample has separated, the camera uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect the exact boundaries (meniscus) between different densities, such as plasma and blood cells or sediment and supernatant [10, 13].
