Popis: We describe the hard/software MANIA complex for carrying out superfast photometry. A new type of time-code converter Quantochron allows us to measure arrival times of photons registered by a photodetector with time resolution up to 20 ns in 216 channels (space, colours, polarization, etc.) simultaneously. Special software was developed to investigate variability on a time-scale of 2 × 10−8-103 s by statistical analysis of the time inverval distribution between detected photons and classical light curves. The results of some observations are presented.
