Camera technology enables detailed visualization of several phenomena not detected by a human eye. Examples of applications include
the investigation of extremely fast processes, microscopic targets, objects with high thermal radiation and complex structures.
Some visualization methods are presented in the following.
High-speed imaging is a perfect tool to investigate extremely fast events in detail. The latest camera and laser technology allows the
recording of 100’000 frames per second. High-speed imaging can be applied to e.g. solid mechanics (vibration, deformation, fracture,
collision, explosion), fluid mechanics (turbulence, cavitation, pressure transients / shock waves, mixing, boiling/evaporation,
fluid-structure interactions) and all kind of troubleshooting in production and maintenance.

Process microscopy refers to process monitoring with a high-magnification imaging system. Process microscopy investigates targets in micrometer
scale. The system can be submersed to a process tank or connected to a process pipe or a by-pass pipe.

In-situ visualization and measurement in real process conditions requires special housing for the optical imaging system. Encapsulated camera
can be submersed in the suspension inside a process reactor, or alternatively the hazardous suspensions can be investigated through a periscope system.
Pixact designs and produces in-situ measurement systems to harsh process conditions.
