Abstract: We might arbitrarily decide that it would be adequate in much of the work in high-speed photography if we had a picture that resolved 200 line pairs across the frame each way. We could then choose the smallest lens aperture and/or the smallest format that would just allow such resolution. Shutters could then be designed which would operate in much shorter times than would be possible with large cameras. Similarly, it would be much easier to design equipment that would move the image or the film by one frame width in a given time; and thus some cameras that take sequences of pictures could be made to operate at higher rates than for conventional sized pictures. There are in fact a whole variety of problems in camera design that can be more easily tackled if one can keep down the size of the lens and/or the image (or the image element size in image-dissection cameras). This paper discusses the application of these ideas to a number of kinds of camera.
