Brandaris 128: a 25 MILLION fps high-speed camera!

The fastest camera in the world (but for real this time)! The Brandaris 128 is an ultra-high speed camera that was developed by two Dutch Universities working together: the University of Twente (Enschede) and Erasmus University (Rotterdam). The camera is being used to research the behaviour of bubbles in water under the influence of ultrasound.
Capturing the motion of oscillating bubbles with such high frequencies requires an extremely fast camera... the Brandaris 128 can record up to 25 Mfps. In this video we only go to around 13 Mfps... imagine what a racket the thing would make at 25 Mfps!
I cannot believe there aren't any other videos to be found on Youtube on the Brandaris yet.
The Brandaris 128 contains 128 CCD chips, hence the name. A rotating mirror (you can hear its helium-driven turbine spinning up) lets the image fall on all CCDs subsequently. So, this camera can make videos with a maximum length of 128 frames, the price you pay for reaching such incredible high speeds.
Jeroen van Sijl (on the left) manually spins up the turbine to a speed that relates to around 3 Mfps, and then spins it up to 13 Mfps. At the moment it reaches that speed I press the spacebar, causing the camera to record 6 videos with a length of 128 frames each (in real life you would see a light under the microscope flicker, you can't see it on this video but you can hear when it happens). Then Jeroen quickly makes the turbine spin down to 3 Mfps again, while the videos get downloaded. If the turbine would keep rotating that fast for too long it would break. Also, the casing of the Brandaris gets filled with helium, to make sure it contains less than 2% of oxygen... I think a higher concentration might burn the mirror!
After the videos were downloaded, Jeroen spins up the turbine again and another six videos are recorded. Then Matlab is used to quickly analyse the data, to see if the measurements produced some usable results.
