The development of sensors capable of detecting particles with both high time and high positional resolution is key to improving our understanding in many areas of science. Example application areas range from fundamental scattering studies of chemical reaction mechanisms through to imaging mass spectrometry of surfaces, neutron scattering studies aimed at probing the structure of materials, and time‐resolved fluorescence measurements to elucidate the structure and function of biomolecules. In addition to improved throughput resulting from parallelisation of data collection – imaging of multiple different fragments in velocity‐map imaging studies, for example - fast image sensors also offer a number of fundamentally new capabilities in areas such as coincidence detection. This talk will review recent developments in fast image sensor technology, with particular reference to the PImMS (Pixel Imaging Mass Spectrometry) sensors developed in Oxford, and will showcase results from a range of different imaging applications.
