Ultra-high-speed camera advances materials testing research
Researchers at the University of Dresden have selected the Kirana ultra-high-speed video camera from Specialised Imaging for their materials testing endeavours. This decision followed a rigorous comparison with other commercially available cameras.
In their quest to understand the behaviour of concrete under high-impact loading, the researchers conducted a comprehensive evaluation. They compared experimental images captured by the Kirana with those from two alternative cameras for Digital Image Correlation (DiC) measurement analysis. The detailed findings of this comparative study have been published by the University of Dresden:

The evaluation process highlighted the importance of image quality in accurate measurement analysis during concrete material testing. To ensure precision, the researchers assessed the performance of three ultra-high-speed cameras, including the Kirana, in analysing concrete specimen deformation before and after crack formation in bending and compression tests. The results revealed that technological limitations affecting image quality could be overcome, leading to significantly improved spatial resolution images and overall better results.
The Kirana stands out as a true ultra-high-speed video camera, offering a unique combination of flexibility and speed comparable to framing cameras. Its custom design sensor allows for capturing 180 images at speeds of up to 7 million images per second at full resolution.
For those interested in witnessing the Kirana in action, a video showcasing Dresden researchers utilising the camera for DIC analysis of a 3-point bending test on concrete samples is available.

The superior load capability of the Priorclave QCS range of top loading autoclaves and proven reliability coupled with space-saving features will appeal to laboratory managers in diverse industrial sectors such as food, drink, dairy, pharmaceutical, agricultural, education, healthcare as well as dedicated research establishments.
The compact design and operational flexibility of one of the newer models, the BASE EV100 autoclave, allows full programmable cycle customisation and has media warming, integrated cooling and freesteaming systems as well as drain protection.
These standard features make this top lading autoclave ideal for sterilising applications such as media preparation, handling waste loads, glassware instruments and open containers and labware. The vertical sterilising chamber, 500mm diameters and 500mm depth, is also large enough to accommodate the tallest flasks, fermentors, and bioreactors.
Access to the sterilising chamber is via a patented Quickseal single-action door opening/closing system which provides safe and secure one- handed operation. Lab staff safety is paramount therefore Priorclave has created a door system that incorporates thermal and pressure locks, prevent opening at elevated load temperature above 80ºC and pressures above 0.2bar.
Sterilising parameters are programmed easily through the Tactrol® 3 controller, allowing for adjustment of temperature and time for simple cycles to
fully featured multi-programme operation. This powerful controller gives unrivalled flexibility, monitoring, and management of the process cycle for greater sterilising efficiency.
During autoclave manufacture, Priorclave incorporate an anti-bacterial epoxy coating to the panels and frame. Highly effective and a permanent treatment for control of harmful bacteria, it makes surfaces cleaner, more hygienic and provides durable lifelong protection against the threat of cross contamination. The epoxy finish is proven to reduce bacterial growth by up to 99.99% and is highly effective against MRSA,
E.coli, Listeria, Legionella, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Pseudomonas and over 50 other species.
