I've been playing around with a high speed video camera. On loan from Hadland Imaging. The camera can do 10 million frames per second. http://hadlandimaging.com/shimadzu-hyper-vision-hpv-x2/ I've not used anywere near that frame rate yet, but have imaged rotifer and tetraselmis at 1000 fps.
Hi-speed video of rotifers at 500 fps (replayed at 24 fps). Taken using LED, DIC lighting with a 20x S-Plan Apo lens.

This is a hi-speed video of Tetraselmis, a motile green algae. The video initially shows capture at 60 fps and then the second segment is at 1000 fps (both replayed at 24 fps). Taken using LED, DIC lighting with a 50x S-Plan Apo lens. It seems to take about 15 nanoseconds (actually 15 milliseconds, thanks to Rik for spotting the error) for a flagella to do one stroke.

But I think the labeling has led you astray. What I see in the video are time stamps like this:
where it's the leading 69 that increments from one frame to another. But those two blocks of digits that I've outlined indicate that the 69 et.al. are actually millions of ns, that is, milliseconds.
So the way I see, it takes about 15 milliseconds to do one stroke. (That is, 15 frames at 1000 frames per second.)

Hi Rik, you are right I messed up my units. Thanks for noticing I'll correct it.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Hi Rik, its list price is $250K I had to send it back but hope to experiment with this camera by the end of the week http://hadlandimaging.com/ix-cameras-i-speed-7-series/
