Texas Tech University Selects Vision Research for High-Speed Combustion Imaging Research
Engineering students at Texas Tech University’s Whitacre College of Engineering will soon have some new insights when it comes to studying combustion. The University recently purchased a Vision Research Phantom V2512 ultrahigh-speed camera with the goal of enhancing the way students analyze the combustion properties of solid fuels such as aluminum and boron.

Dr. Michelle Pantoya, the University’s J. W. Wright Regents Chair in Mechanical Engineering and Professor, will be spearheading the combustion research using Vision Research’s flagship ultrahigh-speed (UHS) camera. Speed is critical when analyzing combustion, and with the Phantom V2512, Dr. Pantoya will be able to capture greater than 25,000 frames-per-second (fps) at the camera’s full resolution of 1280x800, which equates to more than 25 gigapixels-per-second of data.
