I'd like to see this with the double slit experiment

  It would look something like this[1] except with slower visual propagation. Note that this camera (like any camera) cannot observe photons as they pass through the slits -- it can only record photons once they've bounced off the main path. Thus you will never record the interference-causing photons mid-flight, and you'll get a standard interference pattern.

  AlphaPhoenix mentions in the description that he wants to try and image an interference pattern, and it seems possible. Though it wouldn't really be showing you the quantum effect; that's only proven with individual photons at a time. This technique sends a "big" pulse of light relying on some of it being diffusely reflected to the camera at each oscilloscope timestep. Truly sending individual photons and measuring them is likely impractical as you'd have to wait for a huge time collecting data for each pixel, just hoping the photons happens to bounce directly into the photomultiplier tube.
