Abstract

Visualization of the spatiotemporal dynamics of propagation is fundamental to understanding dynamic processes ranging from action potentials to electromagnetic pulses, the two ultrafast processes in biology and physics, respectively. Here, we demonstrate differentially enhanced compressed ultrafast photography to directly visualize propagations of passive current flows at approximately 100 m/s along internodes from Xenopus laevis sciatic nerves and of electromagnetic pulses at approximately 5×10⁷ m/s through lithium niobate. The spatiotemporal dynamics of both propagation processes are consistent with the results from computational models, demonstrating that our method can span these two extreme timescales while maintaining high phase sensitivity.
