Abstract
A circuit capable of regulating 300-W xenon flash tubes up to at 5000 flashes per second (fps) using an insulated gate bipolar transistor (I GBT) as a gating device is presented. This device enables the microsco pic analysis of ciliary movement at very high temporal and spatial res olutions, revealing slow and fast phases of angular change during the effective stroke of a single cilium.
