Abstract
A study is reported of the feasibility of using an aspherical mirror, with its surface in the shape of a prolate ellipsoid of revolution, in the scanning system of a high-speed photographic camera. An analysis is reported of the optimisation of the parameters of the optical syste m of the camera starting from the aberration minimisation conditions. An aspherical mirror of this kind performs not only the scanning funct ion, but acts as a collector, thus simplifying greatly the constructio n of the camera.
