Editors:
- Presents the micro-world as it develops on extremely short time scales observed by ultra-high speed cameras
- Illustrates how shock waves behave during a space shuttle flight, how micro-bubbles collapse in various environments, how and where cracks in a novel material propagate, how a liquid exits from a spray device
- Demonstrates how this type of ultra-fast camera contributes to the understanding of phenomena previously unsolved
- Presents many applications for industry and medical fields

About this book
This volume is about ultra high-speed cameras, which enable us to see what we normally do not see. These are objects that are moving very fast, or that we just ignore. Ultra high-speed cameras invite us to a wonderland of microseconds. There Alice (the reader) meets a ultra high-speed rabbit (this volume) and travels together through this wonderland from the year 1887 to 2017. They go to the horse riding ground and see how a horse gallops. The rabbit takes her to a showroom where various cameras and illumination devices are presented. Then, he sends Alice into semiconductor labyrinths, wind tunnels, mechanical processing factories, and dangerous explosive fields. Sometimes Alice is large, and at other times she is very small. She sits even inside a car engine. She falls down together with a droplet. She enters a microbubble, is thrown out with a jet stream, and finds herself in a human body. Waking up from her dream, she sees children playing a game: “I see what you do not see, andthis is….”. Alice thinks: “The ultra high-speed rabbit showed me many things which I had never seen. Now I will go again to this wonderland, and try to find something new.
