Background:

High-speed imaging equipment is often prohibitively expensive, limiting its adoption in research and development.
Custom solutions for specific high-speed imaging applications further increase costs and complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a low-cost, high-speed camera prototype using accessible components and an open-source design.
To reduce the entry barrier for researchers and developers into high-speed imaging applications.
To create a versatile and customizable platform for various scientific investigations.

Main Methods:

Utilized a low-end Zynq-7000 System-on-Chip (SoC) platform and off-the-shelf components.
Developed a standalone camera system capable of high frame rates at different resolutions.
Designed an open-source, modular system allowing for user customization and expansion.

Main Results:

Achieved 211 frames per second (fps) at 1280x1024 resolution and up to 2329 fps at 256x256 resolution.
The prototype camera costs several hundred dollars with low resource utilization (~5%).
Demonstrated utility in recording low-frequency spatial vibration and investigating aging phenotypes in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Conclusions:

The developed low-cost, high-speed camera provides a competitive and accessible alternative to expensive commercial systems.
The open-source and modular design empowers users to adapt the camera for diverse research needs.
The prototype's effectiveness was validated through vibration analysis and biological imaging applications.
