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.
