New Scientist : Gil Bub and Peter Kohl ‘s team at the University of Oxford wanted to record rat heart cells in action, so they trained two cameras on tissue samples in their lab. A high-speed movie camera filmed the cell’s pulsing activity, while a normal stills camera captured detailed images. But aligning the two sets of images proved fiddly and frustrating.So the team took an off-the-shelf video camera to pieces and rebuilt it to perform both roles, simultaneously recording high-speed video and high-resolution stills.
