How does it work? You guessed it, LASERS!!! (Seriously, what can’t lasers do.) The Serial Time-Encoded Amplified iMaging (you see the STEAM, yes?) essentially detects the reflections of lazorz micropulses that are less than a millionth of a millionth of a second long. By reading the 2-D rainbow these reflections project, a detection device can then create an image. The best part of the camera, though, is that the ‘shutter’ can fire continuously, allowing researchers to capture events that are apparently random, or at least so freakishly rare you couldn’t plan for them. One possible application? Watching neurons fire. Awesome.
